Author: H. L. Hymnal: Songs of Full Salvation #76 (1924) First Line: Far I have wandered, sadly I’ve squandered Lyrics: 1 Far I have wandered, sadly I’ve squandered
All the possessions that once were mine;
Evil hath bound me, darkness hath found me,
I am in need of grace divine.
Refrain:
I will arise and go to my Father,
In sin no more to roam;
He will forgive me,
He will receive me,
Now I am coming home.
2 I am returning, my heart is yearning,
Once more to know His forgiving grace;
Weary of straying, no more delaying,
Longing to see His blessed face. [Refrain]
3 Sin can not charm me, but only harm me,
Husks of the world can not satisfy;
I am relenting, truly repenting,
Surely He will not pass me by. [Refrain]
4 Sorrows enfold me, naught can uphold me,
While far away from the Lord I stray;
Hungry and weary, from byways dreary,
Gladly I’m coming home today. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Far I have wandered, sadly I’ve squandered]
