Come home, come home, Though weary and tired you roam; Come home, come home, O prodigal child, come home.

Come home, come home, Though weary and tired you roam; Come home, come home, O prodigal child, come home.

Come home, come home, Though weary and tired you roam; Come home, come home, O prodigal child, come home.
