Home — Part 2
Mrs. Trench was born Janetta W. Taylor on January 31st, 1843. In 1866, she married John Alfred Trench. Mrs. Trench died June 14th, 1925. Here is how, in one of her several hymns, she expressed the thought of HOME:
How blest a home! the Father’s house!
There love divine doth rest;
What else could satisfy the hearts
Of those in Jesus blest
His home made ours — His Father’s love
Our heart’s full portion given,
The portion of the firstborn Son,
The full delight of heaven.
Oh what a home! The Son who knows,
He only — all His love;
And brings us as His well-beloved
To that bright rest above,
Dwells in His bosom — knoweth all
That in that bosom lies,
And came to earth to make it known,
That we might share His joys.
“And so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
