The Blessed Home

There is a blessed home, beyond these azure skies,
Where saints with Christ in glory live, in life that never dies.
There is a blessed home, beyond earth’s toil and din,
Where we in white shall walk with Christ, beyond the reach of sin.
There is a blessed home, beyond night’s glittering sky,
Where neither griefs, nor pain, nor woes, nor death shall e’er come nigh.
There is a blessed home, where every prayer and tear
Will find its record written full, in answer bright and clear.
There is a blessed home, where prayer is turn’d to praise;
When in the light of Jesus’ love we’ll rest for endless days.
There is a blessed home, where God our Father dwells;
And every child who enters there, the note of glory swells.
Within that blessed home, around our Father’s board,
The endless feast will then be spread of hidden manna stored.
Within that blessed home His “new name” we shall bear,
Inscribed upon the fair “white stone,” His special love to share.
Within that blessed home, within our Father’s rest,
Within the everlasting arms, forever loved and blest!
Ο Father, Christ, and home! to be forever there
Is joy unspoken, love untold, and bliss beyond compare!
