1 Wand’rer from thy Father’s mansion,
Soft as dews at even falling
Hear his gracious Spirit calling,
“Rise and come to me.”
Refrain:
Come, come, come to thy Father,
Thou wilt welcome be;
Come, come, come to thy Father,
Love will welcome thee.
2 All thy guilt shall be forgiven,
Festal joys his grace will offer,
Ring and robe his hand will proffer,
Rise and seek his face. [Refrain]
3 There shall be a sound of music,
Chiming sweet with angels’ voices;
Ev’ry harp in heav’n rejoices
When the lost is found. [Refrain]
4 Send, O send the joyful tidings
To thy Father’s heart of yearning;
Say, with footsteps homeward turning,
“I will rise and go.” [Refrain]
