Author: Jane Borthwick; Charles John Spitta Hymnal: Church Book #455 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Ah, this heart is void and chill,
'Mid earth's noisy thronging;
For the Father's mansions still
Earnestly is longing.
2 O to be at home, and gain
All for which we're sighing;
From all earthly want and pain
To be swiftly flying!
3 With this load of sin and care
Then no longer bending,
But with waiting angels there
On our Lord attending!
4 Ah, how blessed, blessed they
Who have rightly striven,
And rejoin eternally
With their Lord in heaven! Topics: The Christian Life The Heavenly Spirit; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: BORTHWICK
