| 1 Once I wandered far from Jesus, Far from joy and far from home; But the loving Savior missed me, And he gently called me home. Refrain: Softly comes the still, small whisper, “Come, my child, no longer roam; Come to me, while I am calling, Child of love, come home, come home.” 2 But I heeded not his calling, Would not hear the voice so sweet, So I wandered on unheeding, Tho’ the thorns did wound my feet. [Refrain] 3 But the way grew dark and dreary, When his face I could not see, And I called in bitter anguish, “O my Savior, come to me.” [Refrain] 4 Then again my darken’d pathway Brightly glow’d with Jesus’ smile, For, unknown, my loving Savior Stood beside me all the while. [Refrain] | Triumphant Songs No.1 #107 (1887) |
