'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints
Author: David Denham Hymnal: BWHT1899 #605 (1899) Lyrics: 1 '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,
And feel in the presence of Jesus at home!
Refrain:
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
2 Sweet bonds, that unite all the children of peace!
And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease!
Though oft from Thy presence in sadness I roam,
I long to behold Thee in glory at home. [Refrain]
3 I sigh from this body of sin to be free,
Which hinders my joy and communion with Thee;
Though now my temptations like billows may foam,
All, all will be peace, when I'm with Thee at home. [Refrain]
4 While here in the valley of conflict I stay,
Oh, give me submission and strength as my day;
In all my afflictions to Thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home. [Refrain]
5 Whate'er Thou deniest, oh, give my Thy grace,
The Spirit's sure witness, and smiles of Thy face;
Indulge me with patience to wait at Thy throne,
And find even now a sweet foretaste of home. [Refrain]
6 I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine,
No more as an exile in sorrow to pine,
And in Thy fair image arise from the tomb,
With glorified millions to praise Thee at home. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: Heaven Our Home; Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: SWEET HOME
'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints
We come, O Lord, before Thy throne
Author: Phoebe H. Brown Hymnal: BWHT1899 #606 (1899) Lyrics: 1 We come, O Lord, before Thy throne,
And, with united plea,
We meet and pray for those who roam
Far off upon the sea.
2 Oh, may the Holy spirit bow
The sailor's heart to Thee,
Till tears of deep repentance flow
Like rain-drops on the sea.
3 Then may a Saviour's dying love
Pour peace into his breast,
And waft him to the port above,
Of everlasting rest.
Amen. Topics: Mariners Languages: English Tune Title: SILOAM
We come, O Lord, before Thy throne
Brief life is here our portion
Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: BWHT1899 #607 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there;
Oh, happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest!
2 There grief is turned to pleasure,--
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know;
And after fleshly weakness,
And after this world's night,
And after storm and whirlwind,
Are calm and joy and light.
3 For thee, O dear, dear country!
Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name they weep:
The mention of thy glory
Is unction to the breast,
And medicine in sickness,
And love, and life, and rest.
Amen. Topics: Brevity of Life; Christians Triumph of; Immortality Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, BOLTON
