Lyrics:
I will arise and go to my Father,
Weary am I of the husks of my sin;
Tattered my garments, broken my body,
Filthy without and filthy within.
Is there no rest? O! I am so weary!
Is there no balm for the pain in my heart?
Is there no freedom? The chains of transgression,
Is there no power to rend them apart?
Could I live over years I have wasted,
Could I turn backward the pages of time!
They have been squandered while I have wandered;
Now I am sharing husks with the swine.
All of my friends have fled with my riches.
I am so lonely, ill and forlorn.
I will arise and go to my Father,
Back to the place where once I was born.
I will arise and go to my Father.
Mem'ries of home are calling me there.
Warm is the hearthside, laden the table.
Broken and spent, I'll go with a prayer.
I will arise and go to my Father;
Tho He be stern and frown on His son,
Maybe He'll make me as one of His servants,
Maybe forgive me the wrong I have done.
He's on his way to go the Father,
Full of repentance and sodden with tears.
Lo! In the distance coming toward him,
Comes a figure laden with years!
"Father, O Father!" arms open widely
"Welcome, O welcome! son of my Own!"
Warm their embraces, glad their reunion
Heart touching heart, the prodigal's Home.
Coda:
Angels rejoice! The son has come Home!
