Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam
In guilt and misery.

'Tis Jesus calls for thee:
The Spirit and the Bride say, Come;
O, now for refuge flee.
3 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
'Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day. Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY
