MY FATHER'S HOUSE.

By Marianne Farningham

My Father's house has many rooms, And each is fair; And some are reached through gathered glooms By silent stair; But he keeps house, and makes it home, Whichever way the children come.
Plenty and peace are everywhere His house within; The rooms are eloquent with prayer; The songs begin; And dear hearts, filled with love, are glad, Forgetting that they once were sad.
The Father's house is surely thine, Therefore why wait? His lights of love through darkness shine, The hour grows late. Push back the curtain of thy doubt, And enter: none will cast thee out!
— Marianne Farningham.
