1
Our Father, we have wandered
And hidden from your face;
In foolishness have squandered
Your legacy of grace.

2
But now, in exile dwelling,
We rise with fear and shame,
As distant but compelling,
We hear you call our name.

(Interlude)

3
And now at length discerning
The evil that we do,
Behold us, Lord, returning
With hope and trust to you.

4
In haste you come to meet us,
And home rejoicing bring,
In gladness there to greet us
With calf and robe and ring.

(Interlude)

5
O Lord of all the living,
Both banished and restored,
Compassionate, forgiving
And ever caring Lord.

6
Grant now that our transgressing,
Our faithlessness may cease,
Stretch out your hand in blessing,
In pardon and in peace.
