While here in the 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. (Chorus) |

I long, dearest Lord, in thy beauties to shine, No more as an exile in sorrow to pine, And in thy fair image, arise from the tomb, With glorified millions to praise thee, at Home. (Chorus) |
