Hymnal: Laudes Domini #640 (1884) First Line: O thou, whose tender mercy hears Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand indulgent wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye;--
2 See, Lord, before thy throne of grace,
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said--"Return?"
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet?
Oh, let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat!
4 Oh, shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine!
And let thy healing voice impart
A sense of joy divine. Languages: English Tune Title: AVON
"Return"
