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] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tired of sin and tired of straying]
Souls Are Coming Home
