The Prodigal Son

Verse

A certain man had two sons, the younger said father give me my portion

Verse

He journeyed to a far country and wasted all with riotous living

Verse

When he had spent all a famine arose and he began to be in want

Verse

He fed swine and would have filled his belly with the husks

Chorus

I will arise and go to my father and say I have sinned

Verse

Father I am no more worthy to be called thy son

Verse

But the father saw him and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him

Chorus

Bring the best robe and ring and kill the fatted calf

Verse

This my son was dead and is alive again he was lost and is found

Verse

The elder son was angry and would not go in

Verse

Lo these many years I served thee and thou never gavest me a kid

Chorus

Son thou art ever with me and all that I have is thine

Outro

It was meet that we should make merry for this thy brother was dead and is alive again
