Turn Thee, Brother

James Freeman Clarke (1844) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 44:22

Verse 1

Brother, hast thou wandered far From thy Father's happy home, With thyself and God at war? Turn thee, brother; homeward come.

Verse 2

Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave? Squandered life's most golden hours? Turn thee, brother; God can save.

Verse 3

Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul? Discontent upon thy brow? Turn thee; God will make thee whole.

Verse 4

He can heal thy bitterest wound, He thy gentlest prayer can hear; Seek Him, for He may be found; Call upon Him; He is near.
