Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #937 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Heavenly Aspirations Lyrics: 1 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to Faith's illumined eye
Thy golden gates appear!
2 My thirsty spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,--
Jerusalem above.
3 Yet clouds will intervene,
And all my prospect flies;
Like Noah's dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies.
4 Anon the clouds depart,
The winds and waters cease,
While sweetly o'er my gladdened heart
Expands the bow of peace.
My Father's house on high
