Author: Collyer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #825 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Isaiah 55:7-8 Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, now return,
And seek thy Father's face!
Those new desires, which in thee burn,
Were kindled by his grace.
2 Return, O wanderer, now return!
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
3 Return, O wanderer, now return!
Thy Saviour bids thee live:
Go to his bleeding feet, and learn
How freely he'll forgive.
4 Return, O wanderer, now return,
And wipe the falling tear!
Thy Father calls--no longer mourn:
His love invites thee near. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings ; The Invitation of Love
