Room for the Prodigal

Author: J. H. Martin Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #295 (1885) First Line: Room for the prodigal, mourning for sin Refrain First Line: Room for the prodigal, mourning for sin Lyrics: 1 Room for the prodigal, mourning for sin; Room in the kingdom of God, let him in; Room in the mansions of glory above; Room in the bosom of Christ, full of love. Chorus: Room for the prodigal, mourning for sin; Room for the prodigal, O, let him in. 2 Sinner return from the paths thou hast trod, Walk in the ways of thy Father and God; Follow the footsteps of Jesus thy guide, Trust in the blood of the once Crucified. [Chorus] 3 Come unto Jesus for pardon and rest, Come in contrition and lean on His breast; Burdened with guilt, He will give thee release; Troubled with sorrow He’ll fill thee with peace. [Chorus] 4 Loosed from the bondage of Satan and sin, Run in the race, and the victory win; Fight unto death, then thy armor lay down, Enter thy rest and receive a bright crown. [Chorus] Topics: Invitations to Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Room for the prodigal, mourning for sin]
