Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4090 First Line: Like a wayward child I wandered Refrain First Line: Coming, coming home Lyrics: 1. Like a wayward child I wandered
From my Father’s house away,
But I hear His voice entreating,
And I’m coming home today.
Refrain
Coming, coming home,
Coming, coming home,
For I can no longer roam;
I am sad and broken hearted,
And I’m coming, coming home!
2. I have wandered in the darkness,
And my path was lone and drear,
But my Father did not leave me,
He was watching ever near. [Refrain]
3. O the rapture that awaits me
When I reach my Father’s door!
Once within its blest enclosure,
I am safe forevermore. [Refrain]
4. I will ask Him to forgive me
For the wrong that I have done,
To receive, accept and bless me,
Through His well belovèd Son. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Like a wayward child I wandered]
Like a Wayward Child I've Wandered
