1 Prodigals hungry and thirsty,
Rove thro’ each highway and lane—
Bid them partake of the banquet,
Purchased by sorrow and pain.

Refrain:
Tell them the story of Jesus,
How He was offered for sin;
And from the highways and hedges,
Welcome the wanderers in!

2 Feeding on husks to starvation,
Wand’ring away from their home:
Bid them come home to the banquet,
Hasten while yet there is room. [Refrain]

3 Turn, oh, ye prodigals, homeward;
Father’s fond love ye shall share;
He has provided a banquet,
Where there’s enough and to spare. [Refrain]
