Thou loving Friend and Saviour of our race,
And where among the guests there never cometh
One who can hold such high and honored place.

Whatever his appointed work may be,
Till every common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee.
3 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten
When joy is overflowing, full, and free;
O happy home, where every wounded spirit
Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee,
4 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended,
All meet Thee in the blessed home above,
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,
Thy everlasting home of peace and love!

Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:

Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient in Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their cares and fears,
Are carried downward by the flood,
And lost in following years.

Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
7. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home. Used With Tune: ST. ANN

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

It shall be Thy royal throne.

At Thy feet its treasure store:
