Heaven at Home

How fragrant

like sweet heav­en

That home where Christ is Lord

Where fa­thers love His Gos­pel

And sons feed on His Word

Where mo­thers pour His mer­cy

On daugh­ters of His love

Where waves of His com­pas­sion

Bring joy wher­e’er they move.

How beau­ti­ful their un­ion;

How God-like

how se­rene;

How like that Tri­une One­ness

Who reigns in Heav’n

un­seen.

How like that God In­car­nate—

Of God and Man the Son

How won­drous this af­fect­ion:

The ma­ny live as one.

One flesh

one heart

one spi­rit

One bone

one blood

one soul;

One co­ve­nant­al pro­mise

To keep while ag­es roll;

One blend­ed life that gives life

To children clothed with pray­er

One migh­ty rock

one shel­ter

From ev­ery storm and care.

Come

feast of Heav­en’s ta­ble;

Come taste of rich de­light!

Come re­vel and come ra­vish

With plea­sures pass­ing sight!

Come ra­di­ant

ho­ly Splen­dor

Knit all our hearts in one:

Come mir­ror here Your glo­ries

Great Fa­ther

Spir­it

Son!
