Charles Ives - Far from my heav'nly home lyrics
[Charles Ives - Far from my heav'nly home lyrics]
Far from my heav'nly home
Far from my Father's breast
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come
Blest Spirit, come, blest Spirit, come
And guide me to my rest
And guide me to my rest
My spirit homeward turns
And fain would thither flee
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee to thee I press
A dark and toilsome road
When shall I pass, when shall
I pass the wilderness, the wilderness
And reach the saints' abode
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!
O guide me through the desert here
And brin me home at last!
O guide me thro' the desert here
And bring me home at last
Far from my Father's breast
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come
Blest Spirit, come, blest Spirit, come
And guide me to my rest
And guide me to my rest
My spirit homeward turns
And fain would thither flee
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee to thee I press
A dark and toilsome road
When shall I pass, when shall
I pass the wilderness, the wilderness
And reach the saints' abode
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!
O guide me through the desert here
And brin me home at last!
O guide me thro' the desert here
And bring me home at last
