The Prodigal Child

Verse 1

Come home! come home! You are weary at heart, For the way has been dark, And so lonely and wild. O prodigal child! Come home! oh, come home!

Chorus

Come home! Come, oh come home!

Verse 2

Come home! come home! For we watch and we wait, And we stand at the gate, While the shadows are piled. O prodigal child! Come home! oh, come home!

Verse 3

Come home! come home! From the sorrow and blame, From the sin and the shame, And the tempter that smiled, O prodigal child! Come home, oh come home!

Verse 4

Come home! come home! There is bread and to spare, And a warm welcome there, Then, to friends reconciled, O prodigal child! Come home, oh come home.
