Hymn 49
C.M.
1. Return, O God of love—return;
Earth is a tiresome place:
How long shall we, thy children, mourn
Our absence from thy face?

2. Let heaven succeed our painful years;
Let sin and sorrow cease;
And in proportion to our tears,
So make our joys increase.

3. Thy wonders to thy servants show,
Make thine own work complete;
Then shall our souls thy glory know,
And own thy love was great.
