Lyrics

Come, let us to the Lord return, (Hosea 6:1)
Who now beneath his judgments droop:
Torn by his anger if we mourn, (Hosea 6:1)
His healing love will bind us up: (Hosea 6:1)
Who rais’d our surety from the dead, (Heb. 7:22)
Our twice-dead souls will quickly raise (Hosea 6:2)
To walk before our God, and lead (Hosea 6:2, Gen. 17:1, Rom. 6:4)
The sinless life of perfect grace. (I John 3:6, I John 5:18, Matt. 5:48)
