Author: F. J. Crosby Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #10 (1896) First Line: O wand'rer on a dreary waste Refrain First Line: Come home, come home, while open stands the gate Lyrics: 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] Topics: Repentance Scripture: Luke 15:18 Tune Title: [O wanderer on a dreary waste]
