190. Souls Are Coming Home

1 Tired of sin and tired of straying,
Souls are coming home;
Now the Gospel call obeying,
Souls are coming home.

Refrain:
O what joy the sight is bringing!
How the angel choirs are singing,
Heav’n is with their music ringing
While souls are coming home!

2 To the Father’s arms returning,
Souls are coming home;
While the light of hope is burning,
Souls are coming home. [Refrain]

3 Yielding to the Spirit’s pleading,
Souls are coming home;
Long in desert places feeding,
Souls are coming home. [Refrain]

4 Stirred by mem’ries sweet and tender,
Souls are coming home;
All to Jesus to surrender,
Souls are coming home. [Refrain]

5 Earthly follies left behind them,
Souls are coming home;
To be freed from chains that bind them,
Souls are coming home. [Refrain]

6 T’ward the gate of mercy bending,
Souls are coming home;
Pray’rs are answered, long ascending,
Souls are coming home. [Refrain]
