GOING HOME.

Jesus, thy home is mine! And I, thy Father's child, With hopes and joys divine; This world's a weary wild: I'm going home!
Home!—Oh, how soft and sweet It thrills upon the heart! Home!—where the children meet, And never, never part: I'm going home!
And as the desert wide, The wilderness I see, Lord Jesus, I confide My trembling heart to thee: I'm going home!
While severing every tie That holds me from the goal, This, this can satisfy The craving of the soul: I'm going home!
Ah! gently, gently lead Along the painful way; Bid every word and deed, And every look to say: I'm going home!
