A Plymouth Brethren hymn drawn from the parable of the prodigal son, celebrating the returning sinner's welcome by the Father and the gift of righteousness through Christ. Each stanza closes with the refrain 'O Lamb of God, in Thee.'

Verse 1

The wanderer no more will roam,
The lost one to the fold hath come,
The prodigal is welcomed home,
O Lamb of God, in Thee.

Verse 2

Though clad in rags, by sin defiled,
The Father hath embraced His child;
And I am pardoned, reconciled,
O Lamb of God, in Thee.

Verse 3

It is the Father's joy to bless,
His love provides for me a dress,
A robe of spotless righteousness,
O Lamb of God in Thee.

Verse 4

Now shall my famished soul be fed,
A feast of love for me is spread,
I feed upon the children's bread,
O Lamb of God, in Thee.

Verse 5

Yea, in the fullness of His grace
He puts me in the children's place,
Where I may gaze upon His face,
O Lamb of God, in Thee.

Verse 6

I cannot half His love express,
Yet, Lord, with joy my lips confess,
This blessed portion I possess,
O Lamb of God, in Thee.

Verse 7

And when I in Thy likeness shine,
The glory and the praise be Thine,
That everlasting joy is mine,
O Lamb of God, in Thee.
