Author: Charles E. Orr Meter: 5.6.8.5.6.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Oh, home of my soul Lyrics: 1 Oh, home of my soul In that far away goal, Each day brings me nearer to thee; The great throne so white, And my crown shining bright, Mine eyes ever longing to see. 2 A musical strain From that far distant plain Now sweeps gently over my soul; And waves of sweet peace In my heart shall increase, While years of eternity roll. 3 The day will soon come When we’ll all gather home, As pilgrims no more we shall roam; Ah, whom shall we see? And what joy will it be To meet with the dear ones at home! Scripture: Revelation 3:21 Used With Tune: [Oh, home of my soul] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Home); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (13); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (127)
