Tune: Heathlands
('God of mercy, God of grace')
Hosea 5 v.14 - 6 v.3
*********
The Lord says, I go, it known
Return to my place, till shown
By my people that they do
Confess their offences true
And seek my face, for they shall
In their troubles seek me well
The people's response, Come, let
Us return to the Lord yet
For He has torn, and will heal
Will act for our soul's good weal* (*well-being)
He has smitten us, and He
Will bind us up too, so be
In two days He will revive
Us, we shall in Him sure thrive
In third day He will us raise
We shall live in His sight, praise
Him for His grace and mercy
For forgiven we shall be
Then shall we know, if we do
Follow on to know Him true
His going forth is ready
Appears as the dawning, see
After the night, and refresh
Us with rain and shall us bless
