A Song of Home

No home­less wan­der­er am I

My Fa­ther dwells ab­ove the sky;

And when His chos­en time has come

He’ll send for me and take me home.

O home of peace and light and love!

My Fa­ther’s home! My home ab­ove!

Oh haste

thou hap­py hour

to come

When God shall send and take me home.

No lone­ly home

far off re­moved

From all the friends I knew and loved

Is mine; for in one house are placed

The ma­ny man­sions of the blest.

Nor shall a strang­er’s wel­come meet

My tired spir­it at the gate;

My Lord Him­self in love will come

And give to me a wel­come home.

And oh

what joy to hear Him say

Well done

where I am thou shalt be;

Since thou hast con­quered

thou shalt have

All things that Je­sus has to give.
