Verse 1

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

O 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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 4

Then come and rest in your Father’s house, Beneath its shelt’ring dome; There’s joy and peace that shall never cease In the Father’s home.

Chorus

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.
