Song of the Day “Vagabonds”

Come all you travelers tired from the journey, Come wait a while, stay a while, welcomed you’ll be.

Come all you fallen and come all you broken, Find strength for your body and food for your soul.

With the King of all kindness who welcomes us in With the wonder of love and power of grace
