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.
Sweet bonds that unite all the children of peace,
And thrice-precious Jesus, whose love can not cease!
Though oft from thy presence in sadness I roam,
I long to behold thee in glory at home.
I sigh from this body of sin to be free,
Which hinders my joy and communion with thee;
Though now my temptations, like billows, may foam,
All, all will be peace when I'm with thee at home.
While here in the valley of conflict I stay,
O give me submission and strength as my day!
In all my afflictions to thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.
I long, dearest Lord, in thy beauties 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.
