Boundless Love ‎#77

77. O Prodigal Come!

1 O Prodigal, Prodigal, come home today,
The Father now bids thee from sin come away;
O Prodigal, Prodigal, why longer roam,
A welcome is waiting for thee—O come home.

Refrain:
O Prodigal, Prodigal, don’t stay away,
Come home, come home;
O Prodigal, Prodigal, come home today,
Come home, come home, come home.

2 O Prodigal, Prodigal, leave all thy sin,
Come back to thy home, at the door enter in;
O Prodigal, Prodigal, why stay away
When mercy and pardon await thee today. [Refrain]

3 O Prodigal, Prodigal, list to the call
Which bids thee to cast away sin’s bitter thrall,
Come sit at the table now waiting for thee,
Come back to thy Father, thy pardon is free. [Refrain]
