Come Home

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 15:18

Verse 1

O wand’rer on a dreary waste, How dark thy life must be! No home, no hope, no resting place, On life's wide restless sea.

Chorus

Come home, come home, While open stands the gate; Come home, come home, O come ere it be too late.

Verse 2

O wand’rer on a desert wild, Why wilt thou longer stay? The sands of time are ebbing fast, Thy Father calls today.

Chorus

Come home, come home, While open stands the gate; Come home, come home, O come ere it be too late.

Verse 3

O wand’rer in a weary land, Oppressed with want and woe, Arise at once; O tarry not, But to Thy Father go.

Chorus

Come home, come home, While open stands the gate; Come home, come home, O come ere it be too late.

Verse 4

A step, a look, an act of faith, A simple heart-felt pray'r, Will bring thee to thy Father's home, To dwell forever there.

Chorus

Come home, come home, While open stands the gate; Come home, come home, O come ere it be too late.
