HOME

By P. Alderman

O home of love! home of the ransomed ones! Within the mansions of the sinless land; Our pilgrim feet may weary with the march, Our souls are buoyant as we near the strand.
O home of love, of pure, unending bliss, Where angels wait to welcome those who come; Perchance they linger 'neath the tree of life, Their harps already tuned to "welcome home."
O home of love, of more than Eden bloom, Of joy we ne'er conceived, of peace and rest! Oh! rest so sweet inside the heavenly gates— My soul would thither hasten, and be blest.
O home of love, let me thy glory see; Let earth grow dim—its beauties fade for aye, But let me gain that true and noble life That waits us in the land of endless day.
Dear home of love, I'll sing thy praise below, Though scorn await the singer and the song; If this be sweet, what rapture will it be To join the singing of the angel throng! P. ALDERMAN.
