The Christian’s Home 37

Our father dear has gone to rest,
To reign with God forever blest,
His sov’reign tongue will always praise
A Savior’s love, redeeming grace.

Chorus:

He’s gone to his home in glory,
To a mansion bright and fair,
He’s gone to his home in glory,
To sing with the angels there.

Could we but hear his sov’reign tongue,
So sweetly sing the heav’nly song;
Could we but see his smiling face,
Delighted with the happy place.

(Chorus)

We would not wish him back again,
But say, dear one, with God remain
We’ll try to gain that peaceful shore,
Where those who meet shall part no more.

(Chorus)

This song was inscribed to Andrew Mitchell Renfroe (1861-1932), the father of Mrs. Euva Priscilla (Renfroe) Sanders (1905-1991).
