Abode of Peace

Abode of peace

my Fa­ther’s home for­ev­er!

My wea­ry soul in faith doth yearn for thee.

I home­ward look to Thee

my Lord and Sav­ior

To Thine abode of peace

eter­nal­ly.

There is on earth no peace­ful rest;

Our faith is weak

our souls op­pressed

Our vi­sion dim and fail­ing

Our vi­sion dim and fail­ing.

The Lord be praised that time so swift­ly fli­eth;

God’s pro­mise is ful­filled for­ev­er­more.

Who on God’s Word and pro­mis­es re­li­eth

Shall find at last the choic­est wine in store.

Forgotten then is all dis­tress

Eternal peace and hap­pi­ness

Shall then be ours for­ev­er

Shall then be ours for­ev­er.

Then

keep my heart for­ev­er

O my Sav­ior

And let me nev­er

Lord

from Thee de­part.

In joy

in pain

in sor­row

now and ev­er

Thou on­ly giv­est sol­ace to my heart.

For when

O Lord

I am with Thee

All other com­forts well may flee;

With Thee I’m blest for­ev­er

With Thee I’m blest for­ev­er.
