Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #310 (1930) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near,
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye,
Thy golden gates appear!
2 Ah, then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
3 Yet clouds will intervene,
And all my prospect flies;
Like Noah's dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies.
4 Anon the clouds depart,
The winds and waters cease,
While sweetly o'er my gladdened heart
Expands the bow of peace.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: STATE STREET
