12211. Come Home, Poor Sinner

1 Come home, poor sinner,
Why longer roam?
Thy Savior’s calling:
Come home, come home.

Refrain:
Jesus is pleading,
He’s interceding;
Yes, pleading, pleading
For thee to come;
Come home, poor sinner,
Come home, come home.

2 He died to save you
On Calvary;
Behold what suffering!
’Twas all for thee. [Refrain]

3 Oh, come to Jesus,
Do not delay;
Come, and He’ll save you,
Come while you may. [Refrain]

4 Oh, come to Jesus,
He’s waiting still
With His salvation
Thy soul to fill. [Refrain]

5 Oh, come to Jesus,
How can you stay?
He’s pleading, pleading,
Come, come today. [Refrain]
