O Prodigal! don't stay away

Author: J. E. Rankin, D. D. Hymnal: Light and Life #94 (1881) First Line: O prodigal, don't stay away! Refrain First Line: Will you come? Will you come? Lyrics: 1 A prodigal, don't stay away! The Father is waiting to-day; There's room and to spare, There is raiment to wear, O prodigal, don't stay away. Chorus: Will you come? Will you come? Will you come, come home to-day? There is welcome for you, From the Father so true, Then, O prodigal, don't stay away. 2 O prodigal, brother come home! Why longer in wretchedness roam? You're lonely and lost, You are driven and tost, O prodigal brother, come home. [Chorus] 3 O prodigal, what will you do? Love's table is waiting for you; Forgiveness so sweet, Sure, your coming will greet, O prodigal, what will you do? [Chorus] 4 O prodigal brother arise! For pardon, look up to the skies; No longer then stray From thy Father away, O prodigal, brother arise. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O prodigal, don't stay away!]
