Lyics'MID scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
How sweet to my soul is communion with saints;
To find at the banquet of mercy there's room,
And feel in the presence of Jesus at home!-CHO.
CHO.- Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
Sweet bonds that unite all the children of peace!
And thrice blessed Jesus, whose love can not cease!
Though oft from thy presence in sadness I roam,
I long to behold thee in glory, at home.-CHO.
While here in the valley of conflict I stray,
O give me submission and strength as my day;
In all my afflictions to thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glo-ri-ous home.-CHO.
I long, dearest Lord, in thy beauty to shine,
No more as an exile in sorrow to pine;
And in thy dear image arise from the tomb,
With glorified millions, to praise thee at home.-CHO.
