I Have Heard The Welcome Story

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.
