Go and find the Wand'rer
Author: W. A. O. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Go and find the wand’rer Refrain First Line: Go and bring the wand’rer Lyrics: 1 Go and find the wand’rer,
Straying from the Father,
Go and search the paths where the weak and erring stray,
Bring him back to Jesus,
To the dear Redeemer,
Who will take his sins, all his sins away.
Refrain:
Go and bring the wand’rer,
To the dear Redeemer,
Tell him of the Lamb of God who taketh sin away.

Go and plead the story,
Of the loving Savior who died for sinful men,
Go in faith believing
In the name of Jesus,
Go, and tell the story of Christ again. [Refrain]
3 Go and find the wand’rer,
On the highway roaming,
Far away from God, and from home, and friends away,
Bring him back to Jesus,
To the loving Savior,
Bring him back to God while ‘tis called today. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Go and find the wand’rer]
