Author: R. L. Hymnal: Christ in Song #98 (1908) First Line: Where is my wand'ring boy tonight Refrain First Line: O where is my boy to-night? Lyrics: 1 Where is my wand'ring boy to-night
The boy of my tenderest care,
The boy that was once my joy and light,
The child of my love and prayer?
Chorus:
O where is my boy to-night?
O where is my boy to-night?
My heart o'erflows, for I love him, he knows;
O where is my boy to-night?
2 Once he was pure as morning dew,
As he knelt at his mother's knee;
No face was so bright, no heart more true,
And none was so sweet as he. [Chorus]
3 O could I see you now, my boy,
As fair as is olden time,
When prattle and smile made home a joy,
And life was a merry chime; [Chorus]
4 Go for my wand'ring boy to-night;
Go, search for him where you will;
But bring him to me with all his blight,
And tell him I love him still. [Chorus] Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Christ Winning Souls; Living His Life Winning Souls; Living His Life Winning Souls; Living His Life Winning Souls; Special Selections Solos Languages: English Tune Title: [Where is my wand'ring boy to-night]
