'Mid scenes of confusion
and creature-complaints,
How sweet to the soul
is communion with saints!
To find at the banquet
of mercy there's room,
To feel in communion
a foretaste of home.
Sweet bonds that unite
all the children of peace
With Thee, blessed Saviour,
whose love cannot cease;
Though oft amid trials
and dangers we roam,
With Thine we're united,
and hasting toward home.
While here in the valley
of conflict we stay,
O give us submission,
and strength as the day;
Soon, free from afflictions,
to Thee we shall come,
For aye dwell with Thee
in that glorious home.
We wait, blessed Lord,
in Thy beauties to shine,
To see Thee in glory—
the glory divine;
With all Thy redeemed,
from the earth, from the tomb,
To join in Thy praise,
blessed Saviour, at home.
