Calling the prodigal

God is calling the prodigal, come without delay,
Hear, O hear him calling, calling now for Thee.
Tho’ you’ve wandered so far from his presence, come today,
Hear his loving voice calling still.

Refrain

Calling now for Thee, O weary prodigal, come;
Calling now for Thee, O weary prodigal, come.

Patient, loving and tenderly still the Father pleads,
Hear, O hear him calling, calling now for Thee;
Oh! return while the Spirit in mercy intercedes,
Hear his loving voice calling still.

Refrain

Come, there’s bread in the house of the Father, and to spare,
Hear, O hear him calling, calling now for Thee;
Lo! the table is spread and the feast is waiting there,
Hear his loving voice calling still.
