Happy the Home When God is There
O Zion, when I think of thee
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #448 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross; Longing for our heavenly home Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee,
I wish for pinions like a dove,
And mourn to think that I should be
So distant from the place I love.
2 "An exile here, and far from home,
For Zion's sacred walls I sigh,
Thither the ransom'd nations come,
And see the Saviour eye to eye.
3 "While here I walk on hostile ground,
The few that I can call my friends,
Are like myself, with fetters bound,
And weariness our steps attends.
4 "But yet we shall behold the day
When Zion's children shall return;
Our sorrows then shall flee away,
And we shall never, never mourn.
5 "The hope that such a day will come
Makes even the exile's portion sweet;
Though now we wander far from home,
In Zion soon we all shall meet."
O Zion, when I think of thee

Trust ye in his Word, be strong;
For his promises are sure,
His rewards for aye endure.
2 His no crowns that pass away,
His no palm that sees decay,
His the joy that shall not fade,
His the light that knows no shade;
3 His the home for spirits blest,
Where he gives them peaceful rest,
Far above the starry skies,
In the bliss of Paradise.
4 Here on earth ye can but clasp
Things that perish in the grasp:
Lift your hearts, then, to the skies;
God Himself shall be your prize.
5 Praise we now with saints at rest
Father, Son and Spirit blest;
For his promises are sure,
His rewards shall aye endure.
Amen.

Thou gracious God, whose mercy lends
Author: Dr. O. W. Holmes, 1809-1894 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #524 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life The Home; Home The Christian Lyrics: 1 Thou gracious God, whose mercy lends
The light of home, the smile of friends,
Our gathered flock Thine arms enfold,
As in the peaceful days of old.
2 Wilt Thou not hear us while we raise
In sweet accord of solemn praise
The voices that have mingled long
In joyous flow of mirth and song?
3 For all the blessings life has brought,
For all its sorrowing hours have taught,
For all we mourn, for all we keep,
The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep.
4 The noontide sunshine of the past,
These brief, bright moments fading fast,
The stars that gild our darkening years,
The twilight ray from holier spheres;
5 We thank Thee, Father! Let Thy grace
Our loving circle still embrace,
Thy mercy shed its heavenly store,
Thy peace be with us evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: PAVIA
Thou gracious God, whose mercy lends

We will be true to thee till death.

The fount of childhood's trust and grace,

The well-spring of a nobler race; [Refrain]

For youthful longing– youthful doubt,
How blurred our vision, blind our way
Thy providential care without; [Refrain]

In truth beyond our man-made creeds,
Still serve the home and save the church,
And breathe thy spirit thro' our deeds;
