Child, Your Father Calls

Come home

dear sin­ner

while the light

Is beam­ing on your way

The door stands op­en wide for you

Return while yet you may.

Come home

come home

Dear child

come home

Your Fa­ther bids you come;

Come home

come home

Just now come home

O wea­ry wan­der­er

come.

Come home

dear sin­ner; by the cross

The Sav­ior waits for you;

He’ll cleanse away your earth­ly dross

And make you hap­py

too.

Come home

dear sin­ner

while you feel

The Spir­it move your heart;

While at the mer­cy seat you kneel

With ev­ery idol part.

Come home

dear sin­ner

while you may

The Church is call­ing

too;

With ear­nest faith be­gin to pray

And Heav’n will wel­come you.

Come home

dear sin­ner

Je­sus’ blood

Can wash out ev­ery stain;

Plunge now into the crim­son flood

Of Him who once was slain.
