Abode of Peace, My Father's Home Forever

Author: Agatha Rosenius Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #624 (1937) First Line: Abode of peace, my Father's home forever! Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever! My weary soul in faith doth yearn for thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m blest forever, With Thee I'm blest forever. Amen.
