Coming Home (Dimmitt)

lyricist: J. P. Dimmitt, 1887
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

We have wan­dered far away

From our Fa­ther’s home

In the dark and drea­ry paths of sin;

But we hear our Sav­ior’s voice

Calling us to come

And at once a bet­ter life be­gin.

We are com­ing home

We are com­ing home

Coming home to­day;

We have heard Thy lov­ing voice

Blessèd Sav­ior

and re­joice;

We are com­ing home to­day.

We are com­ing now by faith

By the Spir­it led

We are com­ing with our hearts to Thee;

We are trust­ing in the blood

That for us was shed

And the Ho­ly Spir­it sets us free.

We have kin­dred gone be­fore

To the heav­en­ly home

And they draw us by the chords of love;

They are call­ing us to­day

Calling us to come

To the hap­py

hap­py home ab­ove.
