Hymn 204

WELCOME! WANDERER WELCOME!

Verse 1
In the land of strangers,
Whither thou art gone,
Hear a far voice calling,
“My son! My son!”
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
Verse 2
“From the land of hunger,
Fainting, famished, lone,
Come to love and gladness,
My son, my son!
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
Verse 3
“Leave the haunts of riot,
Wasted, woe-be-gone,
Sick at heart and weary,
My son! My son!
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
Verse 4
“See the door still open!
Thou art still my own;
Eyes of love are on thee,
My son! My son!
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
Verse 5
“Far off thou hast wandered;
Wilt thou farther roam?
Come and all is pardoned,
My son! My son!
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
Verse 6
“See the well-spread table,
Unforgotten one!
Here is rest and plenty,
My son! My son!
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
Verse 7
“Thou art friendless, homeless,
Hopeless, and undone;
Mine is love unchanging,
My son! My son!
Chorus
‘Welcome! Wand’rer, welcome!
Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away;
Come home! Come home!’
