About this Hymn
The call to repentance echoes throughout Scripture, reminding God's people to turn from their ways and return to him. We are in constant need of seeking the Lord with a humble heart. This hymn draws on biblical themes to offer words that encourage us to repent, trust in him, and embrace the grace that is ours in Christ. – Matt Boswell
Lyrics
Verse 1
All we have like sheep gone astray, each of us has turned our own way; but God laid all our wrongs, our sins upon the sinless One, his only Son.
Chorus 1
Come, let us return to the Lord; come, now all his mercies remember; what rest, what love now waits to welcome us; oh, come, let us return to the Lord.
Verse 2
All who feel the sting of your sin, come and lift your eyes once again; how great a price was paid to save the souls of those who stray, yet still we stray.
Verse 3
See, no condemnation remains for the soul that rests in his grace; what promised joy awaits all those who humbly call his name, the name that saves.
Verse 4
God, we need your merciful hand. Heal us from our pride, heal our land. As we turn from our ways, oh, turn our hearts to you in praise, to you in praise.
Chorus 2
Come, let us return to the Lord; come, now all his mercies remember; what rest, what love now waits to welcome us; oh, come, let us return to the Lord. come, let us return, come, let us return to the Lord.
