'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #580 (1870) Topics: Heaven as Home Lyrics: 1 '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! Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 2 Sweet bonds, that unite all the children of peace! And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease! Though oft from Thy presence in sadness I roam, I long to behold Thee in glory at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 3 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. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 4 While here in the valley of conflict I stay, Oh, give me submission and strength as my day; In all my afflictions to Thee would I come, Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 5 Whate'er Thou deniest, oh, give my Thy grace, The Spirit's sure witness, and smiles of Thy face; Indulge me with patience to wait at Thy throne, And find even now a sweet foretaste of home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 6 I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine, No more as an exile in sorrow to pine, And in Thy fair image arise from the tomb, With glorified millions to praise Thee at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. Languages: English

Home is home, however lowly

Author: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #663 (1986) Topics: Means of grace Family worship - Home Lyrics: 1 Home is home, however lowly, Home is sweet when love is there, Home is home when hearts are holy, Earth has ne’er a spot so fair. Jesus makes our home a heaven, Sacred in the fireside warm; After battling through the long day, Home’s a shelter from the storm. 2 To a little home in Bethany Jesus loved to wend his way; Tender hearts were waiting for him In the evening of the day. Jesus there dispelled the sadness, There the humble meal he blessèd; There they worshipped him with gladness; There his sacred form would rest. 3 Let us make our home the threshold Of the city bright and fair, Each the other’s joy possessing, Each the other’s burden share. In the storm of deep affliction Let us seek the heavenly balm, In life’s tempest just remember Prayer will make the storm a calm. Languages: English

Relieve their wants; their burdens ease. Let them together dwell in peace And love for one another, And love for one another. Languages: English Tune Title: OH, BLESSED HOME

How Far From Home?

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: Christ in Song #845 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: How far from home! I asked, as on Lyrics: 1. How far from home? I asked, as on I bent my steps--the watchman spake: "The long, dark night is almost gone, The morning soon will break. Then weep no more, but speed thy flight, With Hope's bright star thy guiding ray, Till thou shalt reach the realms of light, In everlasting day." 2. I asked the warrior on the field: This was his soul-inspiring song: "With courage, bold, the sword I'll wield, The battle is not long. Then weep no more, but well endure The conflict, till thy work is done; For this we know, the prize is sure, When victory is won." 3. I asked again; earth, sea, and sun Seemed, with one voice, to make reply: "Time's wasting sands are nearly run, Eternity is nigh. Then weep no more--with warning tones Portentious signs are thick'ning round, The whole creation, waiting, groans, To hear the trumpet sound." 4. Not far from home! O blessed thought! The trav'ler's lonely heart to cheer; Which oft a healing balm has brought, And dried the mourner's tear. Then weep no more, since we shall meet Where weary footsteps never roam Or trials past, our joys complete, Safe in our Father's home. Languages: English Tune Title: [How far from home?
