Coming Home Tonight

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11746 First Line: If you are sad and weary and burdened down with care Refrain First Line: Just tell Him you are coming home tonight Lyrics: 1 If you are sad and weary and burdened down with care, And feel that you have wandered from the right; Tho’ all your life seems dreary, Your load seems hard to bear, Just tell Him you are coming home tonight. Refrain: Just tell Him you are coming home tonight, Just tell Him you are coming home tonight; If, weary and distressed, You long for peace and rest, Just tell Him you are coming home tonight. 2 The Savior loves you dearly, and longs your soul to win, His precious love would make your burden light; Heed now His tender pleading, And turn away from sin, Just tell Him you are coming home tonight. [Refrain] 3 He offers you forgiveness, and peace, and joy, and rest, He wants to make your pathway fair and bright; His loving arms are open To fold you to His breast, Oh, tell Him you are coming home tonight. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [If you are sad and weary and burdened down with care]

Rob­lin (a an­a­gram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy.

At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century.
