The Wanderer

Author: Beverly Carradine Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7115 First Line: I had wandered off from Heaven Lyrics: 1. I had wandered off from Heaven, On the mountains cold and gray, When I heard my Savior calling, To His lost sheep far away; How I listened as the tear drops Coursed adown like falling rain, While His tender words of promise, Made my spirit glad again. Refrain Come, oh, come to Me, said Jesus, Come and I will give you rest, I will take away the burden From the heavy laden breast. No matter who the wand’rer, Nor how far he’s gone astray, Behold, whosoever cometh, I will comfort him today. 2. I was working in the temple With the Savior by my side, Where the multitude assembled, In its misery and pride; Glancing upward from my labor I just caught His distant smile, You have placed your work between us, Come and talk with Me awhile. Refrain 3. Many early friends had left me, While the vacant room and chair, Were reminders of the prices I had paid down to be there; I was brooding o’er my losses When the Savior spoke to me, You have let your sorrows settle, Like a cloud ’tween Me and thee. Refrain 4. Then I saw at once that Jesus Could be better far than all; He could lighten up the pathway, Could surround me like a wall; He could take the place of loved ones, Wipe the falling tears away, Turn my sorrows into laughter, Change the night-tide into day. Refrain 5. So I heard the Savior calling, Come thou weary one away, And my answer quickly followed, Lord, I’m coming home today; Now His loving arms are round me, And my head is on His breast, While I catch His faintest whisper, And my spirit is at rest.

Beverly Carradine

1848 - 1931 Author of "The Wanderer" in The Cyber Hymnal Beverly Francis Carradine (April 4, 1848 - April 22, 1931) was an American Methodist minister, and a leading evangelist for the holiness movement. He was a productive author, writing primarily on the subject of sanctification. Beverly Francis Carradine was born on April 4, 1848, on Altamont Plantation in Yazoo County, Mississippi. Carradine was the sixth of nine children, and fourth son of Mary Caroline Hewitt Carradine (born June 5, 1819 in Washington, D.C.; died 1881 in Yazoo City, Mississippi) and Henry Francis Carradine (born June 7, 1808 in Yazoo City, Mississippi; died March 8, 1854), a planter. The Carradine family moved to Yazoo City in 1852. 1n 1865 Carradine, aged 16, enlisted in Wood's Regiment in the Confederate Cavalry in Mississippi, and served until the end of the American Civil War. In May 1865 he was mustered with the 6th Cavalry Regiment Mississippi. Carradine graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1867. Later he studied pharmacy and worked as a clerk and bookkeeper in a store. Carradine "prayed through" on July 12, 1874, and then he told his wife, "Laura, I’m not going to go to Hell after all." He was licensed to preach in October 1874 and became a pastor in Mississippi and New Orleans. He was ordained a Methodist elder in 1878. On June 1, 1889, Carradine received the "blessing of sanctification" in his study in the parsonage at 35 Polyminca Street, New Orleans. His third book, Sanctification, was published the next year. Many of his subsequent books were centered on the concept of sanctification. He published at least 26 books. He also wrote about his opposition to the Louisiana lottery, making an analogy between it and slavery. The New York Times/ reported that his early opposition as a prominent New Orleans pastor helped to end the lottery in that state. Carradine died on April 22, 1931 in Western Springs, Illinois. Carradine was buried on April 26, 1931 at the Cedar Hill Cemetery, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Although a prolific author, Carradine wrote little about himself and his family, not even in his autobiographical Pastoral Sketches. Carradine was married twice, and had at least nine children. --en.wikipedia.org/wiki (excerpts)
