Text: | Come Home |
Author: | F. J. Crosby |
Tune: | [O wanderer on a dreary waste] |
Composer: | Geo. C. Stebbins |
1 O wand’rer on a dreary waste,
How dark thy life must be!
No home, no hope, no resting place,
On life's wide restless sea.
Refrain:
Come home, come home,
While open stands the gate;
Come home, come home,
O come ere it be too late.
2 O wand’rer on a desert wild,
Why wilt thou longer stay?
The sands of time are ebbing fast,
Thy Father calls today. [Refrain]
3 O wand’rer in a weary land,
Oppressed with want and woe,
Arise at once; O tarry not,
But to Thy Father go. [Refrain]
4 A step, a look, an act of faith,
A simple heart-felt pray'r,
Will bring thee to thy Father's home,
To dwell forever there. [Refrain]
