| Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. (Luke 15:27) |
| As soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. (Luke 15:30) |
| It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. (Luke 15:32) |
Though clothed in rags, by sin defiled,
The Father did embrace His child;
And I am pardoned, reconciled,
O Lamb of God, in Thee! |
And now my famished soul is fed;
A feast of love for me is spread;
I feed upon the children’s bread,
O Lamb of God, in Thee! |
