‘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!
And thrice-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,
And find with our Saviour a heavenly 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 be, to Thy glory, blest Saviour, at home.
