1 There are millions now who have heard His voice;
They are coming at His call;
They have cast their rebel weapons down,
And own Him Lord of all.

Refrain:
They are coming home,
They are coming home,
They are coming,
Coming at the Savior’s call;
All the world is coming now
At the feet of Christ to bow,
And to own Him Lord of all.

2 Send the tidings forth o’er the earth’s wide bound;
There is pardon full and free;
Let the Savior’s glorious triumphs roll,
Till all His glory see. [Refrain]

3 May the truth shine forth with its holy light,
Like a banner flashing wide;
Where the souls oppressed may find their rest,
And in His strength abide. [Refrain]
