1 God is calling the prodigal: come without delay;
Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee;
Tho' you've wandered so far from His presence, come today;
Hear His loving voice calling still.
Chorus:
Calling now for thee,
O weary prodigal, come;
Calling now for thee,
O weary prodigal, come.
2 Patient, loving and tenderly still the Father pleads,
Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee;
O return while the Spirit in mercy intercedes;
Hear His loving voice calling still. [Chorus]
3 Come, there's bread in the house of thy Father, and to spare;
Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee;
Lo! The table is spread and the feast is waiting there;
Hear His loving voice calling still. [Chorus]
