Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEF CGCGCCHC IJHHKHDH AHLHCMAM NOCPHQEQ ERAHCSCS AHAHCTAT| The home of my soul worn and weary | A |
| And pierced by the rocks of old time | B |
| The windows grown dim and the key boards | C |
| Were mute to the wind's whispered chime | B |
| The pillars were trembling the pitcher | D |
| Was full to the brim running o'er | D |
| With burdens hurled oft' at the fountain | E |
| And closed were the gates evermore | F |
| - | |
| Old castle of hopes and of tempests | C |
| I bid thee a loving adieu | G |
| Thou sheltered me oft' from the cloud bursts | C |
| The winds blowing fiercely on you | G |
| My soul now arises on pinions | C |
| And wings through terrestial space | C |
| By planets all gleaming with starlight | H |
| I stand with my Lord face to face | C |
| - | |
| O Master I cry the old temple | I |
| Thou gavest on earth passed away | J |
| I come to thee houseless unsheltered | H |
| Hast room in Thy mansion to day | H |
| I left Mother Earth in the night watch | K |
| And travelled alone to thy gate | H |
| Hast mercy for me dearest Master | D |
| Do I plead for thy pardon too late | H |
| - | |
| Dear Master sore trials beset me | A |
| My feet slipping oft' by the way | H |
| Temptations and doubt overwhelming | L |
| From Thee led me often astray | H |
| My cross was oft' covered with roses | C |
| Just hiding the sly cruel thorn | M |
| My homestead built out of dust only | A |
| Has crumbled to day I am born | M |
| - | |
| Just born in the light of thy kingdom | N |
| Hast house in thy domain to give | O |
| A homestead to fill with the loved ones | C |
| Where with Thee in peace we may live | P |
| I know that my spirit is earth stained | H |
| I'd wash it in yon flowing stream | Q |
| I've come oh my Saviour all broken | E |
| Are hopes to be only a dream | Q |
| - | |
| He turned with a look of compassion | E |
| His voice as sweet waters and low | R |
| My child I've a palace built for thee | A |
| Which time nor rude winds can o'erthrow | H |
| I've watched thee in all of thy wanderings | C |
| E'en when thy homestead of clay fell | S |
| I list for thy knock at our portals | C |
| Heard thee faintly ask Is all well | S |
| - | |
| When doubts have assailed I would press thee | A |
| In sorrow stood oft' by thy side | H |
| I've quelled maddened waves as they dashed thee | A |
| Soul ring heaven's bells and abide | H |
| Thy footsteps shall fall in soft places | C |
| And by mirrored waters can'st roam | T |
| Thy kindred thy Father shall greet thee | A |
| To peace beauty love welcome home | T |
