Lyrics

Come to the Fa­ther’s house,
Come ere the day be gone;
Tempests are gath’ring fast,
Darkness is coming on.

Refrain

Fly, for the tem­pest is com­ing,
Sweeping the fields of sin;
Knock at the por­tals of mer­cy,
Jesus will let you in.

Look at the wea­ry way,
Look where thy feet have trod,
Finding no rest nor peace,
Wand’ring away from God.

Refrain

Haste from the fields of sin,
Fly for thy life to­day;
Come to our Fa­ther’s house;
Enter the nar­row way.
