The long-lost son, with streaming eyes

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #426 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The long-lost son, with streaming eyes, From folly just awake, Reviews his wanderings with surprise; His heart begins to break. 2 I starve, he cries, nor can I bear The famine in this land, While servants of my father share The bounty of his hand. 3 With deep repentance I'll return, And seek my father's face; Unworthy to be called a son, I'll ask a servant's place. 4 Far off the father saw him move-- In pensive silence mourn-- And quickly ran, with arms of love, To welcome his return. 5 Through all the courts the tidings flew, And spread the joy around; The angels tuned their harps anew-- The long-lost son is found!
