|
|
<p>Far from my heavenly home,<br>
|
|
Far from my Father’s breast,<br>
|
|
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come<br>
|
|
And speed me to my rest.</p>
|
|
<p>My spirit homeward turns<br>
|
|
And fain would thither flee;<br>
|
|
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns,<br>
|
|
When I remember thee.</p>
|
|
<p>To thee, to thee I press,<br>
|
|
A dark and toilsome road;<br>
|
|
When shall I pass the wilderness,<br>
|
|
And reach the saint’s abode?</p>
|
|
<p>God of my life, be near;<br>
|
|
On Thee my hopes I cast:<br>
|
|
O guide me through the desert here,<br>
|
|
And bring me home at last.</p>
