Wandering Child, O Come Home

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 –

Wandering child, wandering child, O, come home

Chorus:

Child, come home, child come home,

Wandering child, why longer roam?

This thy Father entreats,

Wandering child, O, come home

Child, come home, child come home,

Wandering child, why longer roam?

This thy Father entreats,

Wandering child, O, come home

Is your frail bark adrift on life’s raging sea,

Are you tossed on its billows and foam?

There’s a safe harbor home, waiting now for you –

Wandering child, wandering child, O, come home

Chorus:

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 –

Wandering child, wandering child, O, come home

Chorus:
