Love for All!

Love for all! and can it be?

Can I hope it is for me?

I

who strayed so long ago

Strayed so far

and fell so low!

I

the dis­obe­di­ent child

Wayward

pass­ion­ate

and wild;

I

who left my Fa­ther’s home

In for­bid­den ways to roam!

I

who spurned His lov­ing hold

I

who would not be con­trolled;

I

who would not hear His call

I

the will­ful pro­di­gal!

I

who wast­ed and mis­spent

Every ta­lent He had lent;

I

who sin­ned again

again

Giving ev­ery pass­ion reign!

To my Fa­ther can I go?

At His feet my­self I’ll throw

In His house there yet may be

Place

a serv­ant’s place

for me.

See

my Fa­ther wait­ing stands;

See

He reach­es out His hands;

God is love! I know

I see

There is love for me—ev­en me!
