Tune title: The Prodigal Son

Back to front page

Sung to the following words:

Solo
I will arise, I will arise,
I will arise and go to my Father, and will say,
Father, I have sinned,
Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before Thee,
and am no more worthy to be called Thy son,
and am no more worthy to be called Thy son.
Bring hither the best robe and put it upon him
put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet,
put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet.

Chorus
Then let us be merry, for this my son
was dead and is alive again,
was dead and is alive again;
was dead and is alive again,
was dead and is alive again;
was lost and is found;
for this my son was dead and is alive again,
and is a-live again,
was lost and is found,
was lost and is found.
