Return, O Israel

*Verse 1:* This is the book of God's commands, The law that stands, no end it demands. Keep it close, and life you'll find, But forsake it, death's chains will bind. *Chorus:* Return, O Jacob, to the light, Embrace the truth, dispel the night. Hold not your honor for another's gain, In God's ways, eternal life you'll attain. *Verse 2:* O Israel, once blessed and free, You turned from God, and woes did see. Sold to nations, yet not in vain, To awaken you from sin's dark reign. *Chorus:* Return, O Jacob, to the light, Embrace the truth, dispel the night. Hold not your honor for another's gain, In God's ways, eternal life you'll attain. *Bridge:* Jerusalem weeps for her lost ones, Led astray by sins that shun the Son. Yet hope still shines, a beacon bright, In God's mercy, salvation's light. *Chorus:* Return, O Jacob, to the light, Embrace the truth, dispel the night. Hold not your honor for another's gain, In God's ways, eternal life you'll attain. attain. *Bridge:* Jerusalem weeps for her lost ones, Led astray by sins that shun the Son.
