The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#54b

54b. Brother, hast thou wander'd far

1 Brother, hast thou wander'd far
From thy Father's happy home,
With thyself and God at war?
Turn thee, brother, homeward come.

2 Hast thou wasted all the powers
God for noble uses gave?
Squander'd life's most golden hours?
Turn thee, brother; God can save.

3 He can heal thy bitterest wound,
He thy gentlest prayer can hear;
Seek Him, for he may be found;
Call upon him; he is near.
