  1. Far from my heavenly home,
    Far from my Father’s breast,
    Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come
    And speed me to my rest.

  2. Upon the willows long
    My harp has silent hung:
    How should I sing a cheerful song
    Till Thou inspire my tongue?

  3. My spirit homeward turns
    And fain would thither flee;
    My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns,
    When I remember thee.

  4. To thee, to thee I press,
    A dark and toilsome road;
    When shall I pass the wilderness,
    And reach the saint’s abode?

  5. God of my life, be near;
    On Thee my hopes I cast:
    O guide me through the desert here,
    And bring me home at last.
