Lyrics

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.
