Chas. H. Gabriel • English

God is calling the prodigal, come without delay, Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee; Tho’ you’ve wandered so far from His presence, come today, Hear His loving voice calling still.

Chorus

Calling now for thee, O weary prodigal, come; Calling now for thee, O weary prodigal, come.

Patient, loving and tenderly still the Father pleads, Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee; Oh! return while the Spirit in mercy intercedes, Hear His loving voice calling still.

Chorus

Calling now for thee, O weary prodigal, come; Calling now for thee, O weary prodigal, come.

Come, there’s bread in the house of thy Father, and to spare, Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee; Lo! the table is spread and the feast is waiting there, Hear His loving voice calling still.

Calling now for thee, O weary prodigal, come; Calling now for thee, O weary prodigal, come.
