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
