E171. Mid Scenes of Confusion and Creature Complaints

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

Chorus:
Home, home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.

2 Sweet bonds that unite all the children of peace!
And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease!
Tho' oft from Thy presence in sadness I roam,
I long to behold Thee in glory at home. [Chorus]

3 While here in this valley of conflict I stay,
Oh, give me submission, and strength as my day;
In all my afflictions to Thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home. [Chorus]
