Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG IJKJ

Far from my heavenly homeA
Far from my Father s breastB
Fainting I cry blest Spirit comeC
And speed me to my restB
-
My spirit homeward turnsD
And fain would thither fleeE
My heart O Zion droops and yearnsD
When I remember theeE
-
To thee to thee I pressF
A dark and toilsome roadG
When shall I pass the wildernessH
And reach the saint s abodeG
-
God of my life be nearI
On Thee my hopes I castJ
O guide me through the desert hereK
And bring me home at lastJ
