Lyrics

The Sav­ior is call­ing,
Dear sin­ner, for thee,
He’s call­ing for thee;
His mer­cy is bound­less,
His par­don is free;
He’s call­ing for you and for me.

Refrain

Come home, come home,
Ye wea­ry and sor­row op­pressed;
Come home, come home,
Wherever you roam;
O come un­to Je­sus and rest.

The Sav­ior is call­ing
From man­sions above,
He’s call­ing, Come home;
O come all ye wea­ry,
And rest in His love;
He’s call­ing so lov­ing­ly, Come.

Refrain

Why long­er in dark­ness
Of sin do you roam?
There’s death in de­lay;
The Sav­ior’s so lov­ing­ly
Saying, Come home;
Come home, O dear sin­ner, to­day.
