Lyrics
Weary Prodigal Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
God is calling us now so come without delay
Hear oh hear Him calling calling now for thee
Patient, loving and tender but still fatherly
Hear His loving voice calling still (calling still)
Calling out for thee
Oh weary (weary prodigal son) prodigal son (weary prodigal son)
Calling out for [B]thee
Oh weary (weary prodigal son) prodigal son (weary prodigal son)
Come there's bread in the house of the father and His fair
Hear oh hear Him calling calling out for thee
Low the table spread and a feast is waiting there
Hear His loving voice calling still (calling still)
