Author: Katharyn D. Bacon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16225 First Line: At the blessed invitation Refrain First Line: Coming home to be forgiven Lyrics:
1 At the blessèd invitation
Of the glorious Son of God,
Souls are breaking now the bonds that have enslaved;
And from paths of sin and darkness
That their feet so long have trod,
They are coming home repentant to be saved.
Refrain:
Coming home to be forgiven,
Taking Jesus at His word;
Coming to be heirs of Heaven,
Fully trusting in their Lord.
2 Freely all their sins confessing,
Casting on Him every care,
Trusting only in His grace to find sweet rest;
Just His love and mercy pleading
As they kneel in earnest prayer,
They are coming home, believing to be blest. [Refrain]
3 Waiting not to cleanse their spirits,
Knowing Christ alone can free,
Weary of the sinner’s endless toil and strife;
Making now complete surrender,
Christ’s for evermore to be,
They are coming home to find eternal life. [Refrain]
4 O the wonderful rejoicing
Round the throne of God on high,
When a contrite soul will cease in sin to roam!
And with glad exultant anthems
Now they Jesus glorify,
Singing, "Praise the Lord, the lost are coming home!" [Refrain]
