Have you wandered away from your Father's care, Heavy hearted and sad do you roam? There's a sweet gentle voice calling now to you Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home.

Is your frail bark adrift on life's raging sea, Are you tossed on its billows and foam? There's a safe harbor home, waiting now for you Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home.

He is pleading today, heed His gentle voice, As He bids you no longer to roam, To that dear Father's house haste without delay-- Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home.
후렴
Child, come home, child come home, Wand'ring child, why longer roam? 'Tis thy Father entreats Wand'ring child, O come home.
