GHS 157 : Wandering Child, O Come Home Lyrics

1. Have you wandered away from your Father’s care, Heavy-hearted and sad do you roam? There’s a sweet gentle voice calling now to you — Wand’ring child, wand’ring child, O, come home.

Child, come home, child, come home, Wand’ring child, why longer roam? ‘Tis thy Father entreats, Wand’ring child, O, come home.

1. Is your frail bark adrift on life’s raging sea, Are you tossed on its billows and foam? There’s a safe harbour home, waiting now for you — Wand’ring child, wand’ring child, O, come home.

2. He is pleading today, heed His gentle voice, As He bids you no longer to roam, To that dear Father’s house haste without delay — Wand’ring child, wand’ring child, O, come home.
