Come home, poor sinner,
Why longer roam?
Thy Savior’s calling:
Come home, come home.
Refrain
Jesus is pleading,
He’s interceding;
Yes, pleading, pleading
For thee to come;
Come home, poor sinner,
Come home, come home.
He died to save you
On Calvary;
Behold what suffering!
’Twas all for thee.
Refrain
Oh, come to Jesus,
Do not delay;
Come, and He’ll save you,
Come while you may.
Refrain
Oh, come to Jesus,
He’s waiting still
With His salvation
Thy soul to fill.
Refrain
Oh, come to Jesus,
How can you stay?
He’s pleading, pleading,
Come, come today.
Refrain
