Text:"Hem jag längtar!"
Tune:[Hem jag längtar! Ack härute]
Composer:O. Ahnfelt

43. "Hem jag längtar!"

1 Hem jag längtar! Ack, härute
Är så tomt, så mörkt, så kallt;
Snart, ack snart all storm nu slute
På den väg mig Gud befallt!
Snart, ack snart all storm nu slute
På den väg mig Gud befallt.

2 Hen jag längtar! Ej jag trifves
Här i jordens jämmerdal:
Till Guds Salem hjärtat drifves,
Upp till Lammets bröllopssal.
Till Guds Salem hjärtat drifves,
Upp till Lammets bröllopssal.

3 Hem jag längar! Kärleksrike
Fader, låt mig hem få gå!
Brister, synder undanvike!
Snart mitt hemland skall jag nå.
Brister, synder undanvike!
Snart mitt hemland skall jag nå.
