I’m Glad I Came Home

Composer: Charles Weigle, 1901

I was so lone­ly

so very lone­ly

When I from my Sav­ior had wan­dered away;

Now I am hap­py

so ve­ry hap­py

Since I to my Sav­ior have come home to stay.

I’m glad I came home

oh

so glad I came home

From Je­sus my Sav­ior I’ll nev­er­more roam;

No more am I starv­ing

wea­ry or lone

Since Je­sus has found me

I’m glad I came home.

I was so hun­gry

so ve­ry hun­gry

When out in the de­sert I wan­dered alone;

Since I’m in Ca­naan

liv­ing in Ca­naan

I’ve plen­ty of bread

oh

I’m glad I came home.

I was so wea­ry

so ve­ry wea­ry

When tired of my wan­d’ring I lay down to die;

Jesus came near me

so ve­ry near me

When in my dis­tress un­to Him I did cry.

I was in dark­ness

walk­ing in dark­ness

When blind­ed by sin I had stum­bled along;

Now I’m in sun­light

walk­ing in sun­light

My sight is re­stored

oh

I’m glad I came home.
