The Home button will need to be repaired if you want the phone to work.
Unfortunately, the service status of the iPhone 4 is listed as Obsolete with Apple. This means that Apple will no longer offer parts or repairs for the iPhone 4.
At this point, about all that you can do is see if the phone can be repaired by an independent local shop in your area.
But....even if the Home button can be repaired, the iPhone 4 is so old that it will not be able to run most apps, and it probably will not work with your cellular carrier.

To add to Bob Timmons said, note that if you have data on this iPhone 4 that you have never backed up or copied anywhere else, and you have forgotten the passcode, you would not be able to get into the phone to recover that data even if the Home button was working.
How do I fix broken home button on iPhone 4?
