Author: E. C. A. Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #17 (1890) First Line: O, prodigal, come, I am waiting Refrain First Line: Come home, Come home Lyrics: 1 O, prodigal, come, I am waiting,
Why tarry on mountains so bare?
Why perish with cold and with hunger?
There's bread enough yet and to spare.
Refrain:
Come home, Come home,
O prodigal child, come home,
And squander thy substance no longer;
O prodigal child, come home.
2 O, prodigal, come, I am waiting,
The Savior said sweetly and low;
Thy sins tho' they be red as scarlet,
I'll make them as white as the snow. [Refrain]
3 O, prodigal, come, I am waiting,
From pleasures of sin turn away;
Make haste and come back to thy Father,
Thy soul may be lost in delay! [Refrain]
4 O, prodigal, come, I am waiting,
Eternity now draweth nigh;
Return and believe on the Savior,
And thou shalt have treasures on high. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O, prodigal, come, I am waiting]
