Lyrics

Return ye, saith the Sav­ior,
To all who are as­tray;
For I who have re­deemed you
Would give you life to­day.

Refrain

I come to Thee, my Sav­ior,
Low at Thy feet I bow;
I’m trust­ing Thee for par­don,
Praise God! He saves me now.

Return ye, saith the Sav­ior,
Who died on Cal­vary’s tree;
For you a feast is rea­dy;
Taste of My love and see.

Refrain

While in the far off coun­try,
His lov­ing voice I heard;
I came, and peace He gave me;
I’m saved, O praise the Lord.

Refrain

Wilt thou not heed the call, friend?
God’s mer­cy pleads with thee;
And Christ Him­self is wait­ing,
To set sin’s cap­tive free.
