Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival ‎#38

38. Coming Home Tod-ay

1 ‘Tis the gospel message,
Hark! we hear it say,
Leave the world for Jesus,
Haste without delay;
Leave the world for Jesus,
Happy we shall be;
We are coming, gladly coming,
Lord to thee.

Refrain:
Coming home today,
Coming home today,
We are coming, gladly coming,
Coming, Lord, to thee;
Coming home today,
Coming home today,
We are coming, gladly coming,
Singing all the way.

2 Whosoever thirsteth,
Let them now draw near
To the waters flowing
Ever bright and clear,
To the living waters
Welcome all shall be:
We are coming, gladly coming,
Lord to thee. [Refrain]

3 Leave the world for Jesus,
Cling to him alone:
Oh, the tender mercy
Thro’ the Saviour shown;
From the yoke of bondage
He has made us free;
We are coming, gladly coming,
Lord to thee. [Refrain]
