EN 3305 The Wanderer

Matt.28.11

Versi Version 1

1

I had wandered off from Heaven,

On the mountains cold and gray,

When I heard my Savior calling,

To His lost sheep far away;

How I listened as the tear drops

Coursed adown like falling rain,

While His tender words of promise,

Made my spirit glad again.

“Come, oh, come to Me,” said Jesus,

Come and I will give you rest,

I will take away the burden

From the heavy laden breast.

No matter who the wand’rer,

Nor how far he’s gone astray,

Behold, whosoever cometh,

I will comfort him today.

2

I was working in the temple

With the Savior by my side,

Where the multitude assembled,

In its misery and pride;

Glancing upward from my labor

I just caught His distant smile,

“You have placed your work between us,

Come and talk with Me awhile.”

3

Many early friends had left me,

While the vacant room and chair,

Were reminders of the prices

I had paid down to be there;

I was brooding o’er my losses

When the Savior spoke to me,

“You have let your sorrows settle,

Like a cloud ’tween Me and thee.”

4

Then I saw at once that Jesus

Could be better far than all;

He could lighten up the pathway,

Could surround me like a wall;

He could take the place of loved ones,

Wipe the falling tears away,

Turn my sorrows into laughter,

Change the night-tide into day.

5

So I heard the Savior calling,

“Come thou weary one away,”

And my answer quickly followed,

“Lord, I’m coming home today”;

Now His loving arms are round me,

And my head is on His breast,

While I catch His faintest whisper,

And my spirit is at rest.
