Come Home

1 Afar from home, beset by fear,
O straying one, by guilt oppressed,
Thy Saviour’s tender pleading hear
He calleth, “Come to Me and rest!”

Refrain:
Come home! Thy Saviour calls thee;
Come home! No more in darkness roam;
Come home! Thy Father loves thee;
Come home! O wayward child, come home!

2 Arise, and seek thy Father’s face;
The feast of love is spread for thee;
His pardon, free His boundless grace,
Are all for thee; O come and see! [Refrain]

3 The homeward path take then today;
Thou art not left to walk alone;
The Spirit waits to show the way,
He safely guides and keeps His own. [Refrain]

4 Why longer wait? Thou art a son,
Thy Father’s house should be thy place;
Thy birthright claim, O wand’ring one;
Return, and see thy Father’s face! [Refrain]
