No wonder, then, that I do long
                                        
                                        O blessed home, for thee,
                                        
                                        Where I shall find a resting place,
                                        
                                        From sin and sorrow free;
                                        
                                        Where tears and weeping are no more,
                                        
                                        Nor death, nor pain, nor night,
                                        
                                        For former things are passed way,
                                        
                                        And darkness turned to light.
