Wandering Child, O Come Home

Verse 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.

Verse 2 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—
Wand'ring child, wand'ring child, O come home.

Verse 3 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.

Refrain Child, come home, child, come home,
Wand'ring child, why longer roam?
'Tis thy Father now entreats—
Wand'ring child, O come home. come home.
Child, come home, child, come home,
Wand'ring child, why longer roam?
'Tis thy Father now entreats—
Wand'ring child, O come home. come home.
