The Lord Be Praised! I'm Homeward Bound

Author: J. Lassen Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, To where my Father's house is found, Beyond death's gloomy portal, Where God's own Son, my Savior blest, Receives me as His welcomed guest Among the saints immortal. 2 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where sin and death, the grave's sad mound, Forever are forgotten; Where living fountains ever flow, And trees their fruit each month shall grow For those of God begotten. 3 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where I shall join the host renowned Before His throne assembling, And there with all in love shall dwell In glory, which no tongue can tell, Relieved of fear and trembling. 4 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where all the saints with beauty crowned Sing to His praise and glory; Where I my problems understand, As they were solved by God's own hand, And tell the blessed story. 5 So, then, with hope we onward press Through sorrow, trouble, and distress, In confidence and wonder, Until by angels borne on high, With sweet relief and happy sigh, Our eyes we open yonder.

Nothing else than love could move him With such deep and tender care Evermore to raise and bear All who try to serve and love him. All things else have but their hour. God's great love retains its pow'r. 2 He so cared for and esteemed me That the Son he loved so well He gave for me to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell. O Lord, spring of boundless blessing, How then could my finite mind Of your love the limit find Though my efforts were unceasing? All things else have but their hour, God's great love retains its pow'r. 3 All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides, Nor is he of that unheedful Which my body needs besides. When my strength cannot avail me, When my pow'rs can do no more, Then will God his strength out-pour; In my need he will not fail me. All things else have but their hour, God's great love retains its pow'r. 4 Since there's neither change nor coldness In God's love that on me smiled, I now lift my hands in boldness, Coming to you as your child. Grant me grace, O God, I pray you, That I may with all my might, All my lifetime, day and night, Love and trust you and obey you And then, after this life's end. Ever praise you, God, my friend.

If you should mark our sins, who then could stand? But grace and mercy dwell at your right hand. 2 I wait for God, I trust his holy word; he hears my sighs. My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord; my prayers arise. I look for him to drive away my night– yes, more than those who watch for morning light. 3 Hope in the Lord: unfailing is his love; in him confide. Mercy and full redemption from above he does provide. From sin and evil, mighty though they seem, his arm almighty will his saints redeem. Used With Tune: SANDON Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
