Return'd into Thy kingdom, Lord

Return'd into Thy kingdom, Lord,
For good remember me,
And tell a penitent restored,
I soon shall be with Thee.

The ofifering of a broken heart
Thou never wilt despise.
But while my soul and body part
Accept the sacrifice.

My spirit humbly I commend
To Thy redeeming care,
My last important moments spend
In penitence and prayer.

And if I may not testify
On earth my sins forgiven,
Yet, I, the poorest outcast I,
May praise Thy love in heaven.
I The soul that sins, if God is true.
Shall die the death which ne'er shall end.
