Come Home, Prodigal

Author: F. A. B. Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #112 (1888) First Line: Unto thy Father's dwelling Lyrics: 1. Unto thy Father's dwelling, O prodigal, return; His matchless, wondrous mercy, Do not in madness spurn. Thou'rt sick at heart, and weary, O then, why longer roam? For now in love thy Father Is calling, "Son, come home." Chorus: "Come home, prodigal, Come home, prodigal; Thy Father calls, thy Father calls, "Come home"; Come home, prodigal, Come home, prodigal; Thy Father calls, thy Father calls, "Come home." 2. Thy substance all is wasted, On husks thou fain wouldst feed; Why perish there with hunger, As soon thou wilt indeed? Forsake the land of famine, Of sorrow and of care, And seek thy Father's country; He will receive thee there. [Chorus] 3. He cometh now to meet thee, While thou art far away; And waiteth to embrace thee, And words of pardon say. Return, and this commandment Thro' loyal hearts shall sound: Rejoice, O men and angels! My son, long lost is found! [Chorus] 4. O wondrous is the mercy He hath already shown, And wondrous the affection That such a son would own; Or do not slight His goodness, So boundless and so free, But haste and seek His favor While yet He calls for thee. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Unto thy Father's dwelling]
