Is beaming on your way,
The door stands open wide for you,
Return while yet you may.
Refrain:
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.
2 Come home, dear sinner; by the cross
The Savior waits for you;
He’ll cleanse away your earthly dross,
And make you happy, too. [Refrain]
3 Come home, dear sinner, while you feel
The Spirit move your heart;
While at the mercy seat you kneel,
With every idol part. [Refrain]
4 Come home, dear sinner, while you may,
The Church is calling, too;
With earnest faith begin to pray,
And Heav’n will welcome you. [Refrain]
5 Come home, dear sinner, Jesus’ blood
Can wash out every stain;
Plunge now into the crimson flood
Of Him who once was slain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BELFAST
Child, Your Father Calls
