Lyrics: 1 I've stray'd till late, the night is falling, I long again to find my home; A voice I hear, so kindly calling, "My wand'ring child, come home! come home!" Refrain: I'll go, I'll go! With my tears of sorrow swelling, All my sin and weakness telling, To my Father's far off dwelling, I'll go! 2 I'm lost upon the lonely mountains, Where thorns beset my weary way; Afar I hear the tuneful fountains, That in his peaceful pastures play. [Refrain] 3 My soul is faint, my spirit weeping, In want of food that once was free. My Father's house is surely keeping, The Bread of Life, enough for me.
