Come home, my child, to-day

Author: Eliza M. Sherman Hymnal: Light and Life #14 (1881) First Line: Long I've wander'd from the Master Refrain First Line: Like a strain of heav'nly music Lyrics: 1 Long I've wander'd from the Master, O'er the mountains far away, But I hear his sweet voice calling, Weary child, come home to-day. Refrain: Like a strain of heav'nly music, From the land of endless day, Comes that low, sweet voice entreating, Come, my child, come home to-day. 2 Father, I am coming, coming, Thy dear face I almost see; Blessed tho't that tho' I wander'd, Thou didst still remember me. [Refrain] 3 Father, tho' I am unworthy, E'en to speak a name so sweet, Bowing down in humble rev'rence, I would worship at thy feet. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Long I've wander'd from the Master]
