One of Thy children is coming home open Thy merciful arms
One of Thy children's too tired to roam open Thy merciful arms

Send out a shepherd open the gate
Jesus has called and his sheep must not wait
Oh what a joy to be travelling home open Thy merciful arms

Though we may travel the valley of death
Jesus will save us from harm
Though we be weary we soon will rest open Thy merciful arms

Do not be fearful last teepee late
Jesus has called and his sheep must not wait
Oh what a joy to be travelling home open Thy merciful arms
