Come Home (Jaquette)

lyricist: David Jaquette, 1900
Composer: William Vansant

List! sin­ner

the voice of thy Sav­ior is heard

Attend and re­ject not His plea;

He asks for thy heart

now be­lieve on His word

He of­fers sweet par­don to thee.

Come home

come home

Come

trust in a Sav­ior’s love;

Come home

wea­ry one

come home

Come home to that land ab­ove.

Why lin­ger in dark­ness and dan­ger so long?

The day of sal­va­tion is near;

Come

all ye that labor

His love is so strong

That all His sweet pro­mise may share.

Full long has the bur­den of sin weighed thee down

O

hast­en to Cal­va­ry’s side;

See

there on the cross He has pur­chased thy crown

A ran­som for sin­ners has died.

Despised and re­ject­ed

at length He may leave

His Spir­it no long­er may strive;

His mer­cy and par­don

oh

wilt thou re­ceive?

’Twill peace to thy soul quick­ly give.
