Hymnal: The Morning Star #41 (1877) First Line: Love for all! and can it be? Lyrics: 1 Love for all! and can it be?
Can I hope it is for me?
I, who strayed so long ago,
Strayed so far, and fell so low?
2 I, the disobedient child,
Wayward, passionate, and wild;
I, who left my Father's home,
In forbidden ways to roam!
3 I, who spurned His loving hold,
I, who would not be controlled;
I, who would not hear His call,
I, the willful prodigal.
4 See, my Father waiting stands;
See, He reaches out His hands;
God is love! I know, I see,
Love for me--yes, even me.
