Author: Mrs. Ellen H. Gates Hymnal: Living Hymns #103 (1890) First Line: Come home! come home! Refrain First Line: Come home! Lyrics: 1 Come home! come home!
You are weary at heart,
For the way has been dark,
And so lonely and wild.
O prodigal child!
Come home! oh, come home!
Chorus:
Come home!
Come, oh come home!
2 Come home! come home!
For we watch and we wait,
And we stand at the gate,
While the shadows are piled.
O prodigal child!
Come home! oh, come home! [Chorus]
3 Come home! come home!
From the sorrow and blame,
From the sin and the shame,
And the tempter that smiled,
O prodigal child!
Come home, oh come home! [Chorus]
4 Come home! come home!
There is bread and to spare,
And a warm welcome there,
Then, to friends reconciled,
O prodigal child!
Come home, oh come home. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Come home! come home!]
