SWEET HOME. IIS.

H. R. BISHOP.

find at

mer-cy there's room, And feel in the pres-ence of

Je - sus

at home!

Home, home, sweet, sweet home, Prepare me, dear Saviour, forglo-ry, my home.

1 'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,

How sweet to my soul is communion with saints!
To find at the banquet of mercy there's room,
And feel in the presence of Jesus at home!
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 ;
Though oft from thy presence in sadness I roam,
I long to behold thee, in glory, at home!
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
3 While here in this valley of conflict I stay,

O give me submission and strength as my day ;
In all my afflictions to thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.

long to be there. The king - dom of Je - sus, and long to be there.

2 When poverty comes, and my foes me surround,

Afflictions oppress me, and trials abound,
I think of those mansions which Christ will prepare
When he comes in his glory, and long to be there.

Long to be there, long to be there,

Those mansions of glory- I long to be there. 3 I long to be there, and the thought that He's near, Gives me joy in my sorrow, and takes

away

fear :
I know when he comes, with his saints I shall share
In the glory he bringeth — I long to be there.

Long to be there, long to be there,
And share in his glory – I long to be there.

BEAUTIFUL WHITE ROBES.

I. BALTZELL.

1. Who are these ar-rayed in white, Brighter than the noon-day sun, 2. These are they who bore the cross, No - bly for the Mas - ter stood, 3. Clad in rai - ment pure and white, Vic- tor palms in ev-ery hand, 4. Joy and glad - ness ban-ish sighs, Per-fect love dis - pels all fears ;

Fore - most of the sons of light, Near-est

the e - ter - nal throne? Suf - ferers in the no- ble cause, Followers of Im-man-uel God. Through their great Redeemer's might, More than con- quer-ors they stand. And for

er from their eyes God shall wipe a way their tears.

From "GATES OF PRAISE," by per.

CHORUS.

They have clean robes, beautiful white robes, Washed in Je - sus' blood di - vine ;

May a clean and beau-ti-ful white robe, Washed in Je - sus' blood, be mine.
