Author: Mrs. Anna Shipton Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: "Home! Light! Home!" The light of a cloudless day Lyrics: 1 “Home! Light! Home!” The light of a cloudless day; It breaks o’er the city whose Builder is God, and never shall fade away; Nor sun, nor moon, nor stars, o’er the mansion of rest may reign, For the Lamb is the Light of that golden land—the Light is the Lamb once slain. 2 “Home! Light! Home!” with the Friend that can never change, ‘Midst the boundless stores of a Saviour’s love unfettered and free to range: They wait for Him there on high, who watched for Him here before; And the song of praise on their joyful lips shall falter in death no more. 3 “Home! Light! Home!” A home ‘mid the ransomed band; Drinking of fountains that never fail, led by a Saviour’s hand: Never to hunger or thirst, never to faint or fear; Only to live in the light of His smile who guided their footsteps here. 4 “Home! Light! Home!” Do you look to a Father’s home? Do you point to the light that has gladdened your path, and cry to the wanderer “Come”? Do you dwell on a Saviour’s truth? Do you yearn o’er the blind man’s night? Go, seek ye the souls that are sinking in death, and tell them of Home and Light! Used With Tune: ["Home! Light! Home!" The light of a cloudless day]
