SS&S 447: IN THE LAND OF STRANGERS
Whither thou art gone,
Hear a far voice calling,
"My son! my son!
Welcome, wanderer! Welcome! Welcome back to home!
Thou hast wandered far away: come home; come home!”
2. "From the land of hunger,
Fainting, famished, lone,
Come to love and gladness,
My son! my son!
3. "Quit the haunts of riot,
Wasted, woe-begone;
Sick at heart and weary,
My son! my son!
4. "See the door still open!
Thou art still my own;
Eyes of love are on thee,
My son! my son!
5. "Far off thou hast wandered:
Wilt thou farther roam?
Come! and all is pardoned,
My son! my son!
6. "See the well-spread table,
Unforgotten one!
Here is rest and plenty,
My son! my son!
7. "Thou art friendless, homeless,
Hopel…
Only a step to Jesus!
Then why not take it now?
Come, and thy sin confessing,
To Him, thy Saviour, bow.
