Far From My Heavenly Home,
Far From My Father’s Breast,
Fainting I Cry, Blest Spirit, Come,
And Speed Me To My Rest.

My Spirit Homeward Turns,
And Fain Would Thither Flee:
My Heart, O Sion, Droops And Yearns,
When I Remember Thee.

To Thee, To Thee I Press,
A Dark And Toilsome Road:
When Shall I Pass The Wilderness,
And Reach The Saints’ Abode?

God Of My Life, Be Near;
On Thee My Hopes I Cast:
O Guide Me Through The Desert Here,
And Bring Me Home At Last.
