HAVE YOU WANDERED AWAY

HAVE YOU WANDERED AWAY 

1.

 Have you wandered away from your Father's care,

Heavy hearted and sad do you roam?

There's a sweet gentle voice calling now to you--

Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home.

Refrain :

Child, come home, child come home,

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

'Tis thy Father entreats--

Wand'ring child, O come home.

Child, come home, child come home,

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

'Tis thy Father entreats--

Wand'ring child, O come home.

2.

Is your frail bark adrift on life's raging sea,

Are you tossed on its billows and foam?

There's a safe harbor home, waiting now for you--

Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home. 

Refrain :

Child, come home, child come home,

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

'Tis thy Father entreats--

Wand'ring child, O come home.

Child, come home, child come home,

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

'Tis thy Father entreats--

Wand'ring child, O come home.

3.

 He is pleading today, heed His gentle voice,

As He bids you no longer to roam,

To that dear Father's house haste without delay--

Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home. 

Refrain :

Child, come home, child come home,

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

'Tis thy Father entreats--

Wand'ring child, O come home.

Child, come home, child come home,

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

'Tis thy Father entreats--

Wand'ring child, O come home.
