Hymn 246 – FAR from my heavenly home | C&S English Hymnary

1. FAR from my heavenly home, Far from my Father's breast, Fainting I cry blest Spirit, come And speed me to my test. 2. Upon the willows long My harp has silent hung How should I sing a cheerful song, Till Thou inspire my tongue? 3. My spirit homeward turns, And fain would thither flee: My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns When I remember thee. 4. To thee, to thee I press, A dark and toilsome road: When shall I pass the wilderness, And reach the saints’ abode? 5. God of my life be near: On Thee my hopes I cast Oh guide me through the desert here And bring me home at last AMEN
