I have heard the wel­come sto­ry
Of re­demp­tion, full and free;
I have wan­dered, O my Fa­ther,
But Thy child I long to be.

Refrain

I am com­ing home to Thee,
Coming home to Thee;
I have heard the in­vi­ta­tion,
And I’m com­ing home to Thee,
I am com­ing home to Thee,
Coming home to Thee;
I have heard the in­vi­ta­tion,
And I’m com­ing home to Thee.

I have heard the wel­come sto­ry
And it makes my heart re­joice;
I have heard the gen­tle plead­ing
Of the Spir­it’s warn­ing voice.

Refrain

I am com­ing, glad­ly com­ing,
For I can no long­er stay
From Thy lov­ing arms of mer­cy,
And Thy pre­cious fold, away.
