Text Based On Luke Chapter 15
And when he cometh home, he calleth together
his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Won't You Come Back Home?
Soul astray in darkness, bowed by sin and woe,
One still dearly loves thee, tho' ye downward go;
Tenderly He calls thee in the gath'ring gloom,
Hear Him sweetly pleading —
"Won't you come back home?"
Refrain
Won't you come to Jesus, won't you come back home?
Still He dearly loves thee and is pleading, "Come;"
Grieve His heart no longer, cease from Him to roam,
Thou shalt be forgiven, —
"Oh! Won't you come back home?"
Tho' from Him ye wander, under sin's control,
Ever He is yearning for thy wayward soul;
Arms of love are open, why despairing roam
From the one that loves thee, —
"Won't you come back home?"
Refrain
Think how He has suffered just to prove His love,
Even now a mansion He prepares above;
Even while you wander on to endless doom;
Won't you try to love Him? —
"Won't you come back home?"
Refrain
Swift the day is speeding; night is coming on;
Turn, while Jesus calls thee, hope will soon be gone;
In the path before thee lies the yawning tomb;
Won't you love the Savior? —
"Won't you come back home?"
Refrain
