Verse 1
Return, O wanderer, to thy home,...
Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery:
Return, return, return.

Verse 2
Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
'Tis Jesus calling for thee:
The Spirit and the bride say, Come,
Oh, now for refuge flee:
Return, return, return.

Verse 3
Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
'Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day:
Return, return, return
