The Only Lord

1Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints, How sweet to the soul is communion with saints; To find at the banquet of mercy there's room, And feel in the presence of Jesus at home.

RefrainHome, home, sweet, sweet home, Prepare me, dear Savior, for glory, my home.

2Home, home, sweet, sweet home, Prepare me, dear Savior, for glory, my home. Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Are waiting for me in my home in the sky.

3While here in the valley of conflict I stay, O give me submission and strength as my day; In all my afflictions to thee would I come, Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.

4Whate'er thou deniest, O give me thy grace, The spirit of supplication and prayer; That I may live as one who is wholly thine, And be thy name throughout all time.
