Soprano (Recit.)
And he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him,
and had compassion,
and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
Tenor
Father, father,
I have sinned against Heav'n and in thy sight,
and am no more worthy
to be called thy son.
Bass
My son is yet alive!
Now let me die,
since I have seen thy face,
and thou art yet alive!
