O wand’rer, come to
the Father’s home!
Why wilt thou further roam?
There’s joy and rest
for the weary breast
In the Father’s home.
Then come to the Father’s home;
No longer sadly roam;
There’s joy and rest
for the weary breast
In the Father’s home.
Why linger away
on the mountains cold?
Why friendless and hopeless roam?
There’s bread to spare,
and there’s room for all,
In the Father’s home.
Then come to the Father’s home;
No longer sadly roam;
There’s joy and rest
for the weary breast
In the Father’s home.
Oh come, and taste
of the Father’s love!
Return, no more to roam;
For loved ones wait
at the golden gate
Of the Father’s home.
Then come to the Father’s home;
No longer sadly roam;
There’s joy and rest
for the weary breast
In the Father’s home.
Then come and rest
in your Father’s house,
Beneath its sheltering dome;
There’s joy and peace
that shall never cease
In the Father’s home.
Then come to the Father’s home;
No longer sadly roam;
There’s joy and rest
for the weary breast
In the Father’s home.
