Child, Come Home

Author: Mrs. L. M. B. Bateman Hymnal: Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One #60 (1900) First Line: On a desert bleak and dreary Refrain First Line: He is calling, calling ever Lyrics: On a desert bleak and dreary, Dost thou wander sad and lone? Hear the Savior calling, calling, “Child of want and woe, come home.” Chorus: He is calling, calling ever, Calling tenderly to thee, “I’ll forsake thee never, never, Weary wand’rer, come to me.” Art thou doubting? doubt no longer, For the word of God is sure; Jesus came to save the sinful, he will cleanse and make thee pure. Do the world’s delights entice thee? Greater joys in Christ abound; Does the love of earth invite thee, Perfect love in Him is found. Wait no longer, life is fleeting, Thou hast only this today; Time is precious; oh, to Jesus Give thyself without delay. Languages: English Tune Title: [On a desert bleak and dreary]
