11746. Coming Home Tonight

1 If you are sad and weary and burdened down with care,
And feel that you have wandered from the right;
Tho’ all your life seems dreary,
Your load seems hard to bear,
Just tell Him you are coming home tonight.

Refrain:
Just tell Him you are coming home tonight,
Just tell Him you are coming home tonight;
If, weary and distressed,
You long for peace and rest,
Just tell Him you are coming home tonight.

2 The Savior loves you dearly, and longs your soul to win,
His precious love would make your burden light;
Heed now His tender pleading,
And turn away from sin,
Just tell Him you are coming home tonight. [Refrain]

3 He offers you forgiveness, and peace, and joy, and rest,
He wants to make your pathway fair and bright;
His loving arms are open
To fold you to His breast,
Oh, tell Him you are coming home tonight. [Refrain]
