1 Return, O wand’rer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery.

Refrain:
Steal away, steal away,
Steal away to Jesus;
Steal away, steal away home,
For Jesus waits to save you.

2 Return, O wand’rer, to thy home,
'Tis Jesus calls for thee;
The Spirit and the Bride say,
Come, O now for refuge flee. [Refrain]

3 Return, O wand’rer, to thy home,
'Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day. [Refrain]
