O Israel return, return, Return unto the Lord thy God: O Israel return, Return unto the Lord thy God: For thou hast fall'n by thine iniquity, Hast fall'n by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the Lord. Say unto him, Take away all iniquity, Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously. Return to the Lord, Return to the Lord thy God; Return O Israel, unto the Lord thy God. |
