589.  GOD IS CALLING THE PRODIGAL
                    I/EN, OH, PROD/GO
                   ·······rnlie·,-s:1TrnU.TNG
           God is calling the prodigal, come without delay,
            Hear, oh, hear Him //calling// now for thee;
      Tho' you've wandered so far from His presence, come today,
                Hear His loving voice calling still.
                        CHORUS
                   //Calling now for thee,
                  Oh, weary prodigal, come//
                           2
          Patient, loving and tenderly still the Father pleads,
            Hear, Oh, hear Him //calling// now for thee;
           Oh! Return while the Spirit in mercy intercedes,
                Hear His loving voice calling still.
                           3
      Come, there's bread in the house of the Father, and to spare,
            Hear, Oh, hear Him //calling// now for thee;
         Lo, the table is spread and the feast is waiting there,
                Hear His loving voice calling still.

             590.  COME, ZION, SEE
                     VE,  VE, OH, 5/ON
                    .. lTiiifo.lB"tTBERIIUTY
            Come, Zion, see, you must fulfill your duty,
             Come and proclaim the light of God to all,
             See that the Maker has decreed His love,
              Let no one die in darkness and in sin.
                        CHORUS
             News for salvation, the world should hear,
           News for redemption, and of love, and liberty.
                           2
            See just how many people live in this world,
            Trapped in the dark, a prison for their souls;
          They ignore that Jesus Christ bled and died here;
