Hymnal: The Little Seraph #136a (1874) First Line: Sweet land of rest! for thee I sigh Refrain First Line: Home, home, sweet, sweet home Lyrics: 1 Sweet land of rest! for thee I sigh,
When will the moment come
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell with Christ at home.
Refrain:
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
And dwell with Christ at home.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
And dwell with Christ at home.
2 No tranquil joys on earth I know,
No peaceful, sheltering dome;
This world's a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home. [Refrain]
3 To Jesus Christ I sought for rest,
He bade me cease to roam,
But fly for succor to his breast,
And he'd conduct me home. [Refrain]
4 Weary of wand'ring round and round
This vale of sin and gloom,
I long to leave the unhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home. [Refrain] Tune Title: SWEET LAND OF REST
