Calling the Prodigal

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.

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.

Come

there’s bread in the house

Of the 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.
