Lyrics:

1.Return, return with honor, beloved Elder, trusted friend.
Return, my faithful servant, of my embrace there is no end.
Thou hast gone where I have sent thee, Thou attuned thy heart to hear,
Thou hast found my lost, loved children, And brought them home, rejoicing!
How great shall be your joy with them in the kingdom of my Father.

2.Return, return with honor, my son, my servant and my friend.
Return, my faithful servant, of my embrace there is no end.
Thou art called to join thy family, thou art called to build thy home.
Thou art called to build my kingdom, I know thy heart is pure and pure.
How great shall be your joy with them in the kingdom of my Father.

How great shall be our love! How great shall be our joy!
