Wanderer, Seek Thy Home

Author: J. B. Packard Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15915 First Line: Hark! the bell to prayer is calling Lyrics: 1 Hark! the bell to prayer is calling, "Wanderer, come!" In God’s house with reverent feeling, Seek thy home. There’s a mansion far above thee, Where dwell spirits pure and lovely; Wanderer, ’tis thy home; Wanderer, ’tis thy home. 2 Hark! those bell-tones sweetly pealing, "Come, O come!" Far and wide melodious stealing, “Come, O come!” Thro’ each heart the voice is thrilling, Storms of grief and passion stilling, Wanderer, hasten home; Wanderer, hasten home. 3 Still the echoed voice is ringing, "Come, O come!" Every heart pure incense bringing, Hither come. Father, round the altar bending, May our souls to Heav’n ascending, Find in Thee their home, Find in Thee their home.
