One Less At Home

One less at home! The charmed circle brokcn- a dear faco Miesed day by day froni its accustomod place, Jut cleanscd, and savod, and periected by grace! One more in hcavenl One Ipbs at home! One voice of welcome huahed, and evermore Oiip farowell word spoken; on the shoro, Where parting comea not, ono soul lamled more - One more in heavenl One leas at home! Chili as the earth-born mist the thought would rise, And warp our footstcps round, and dim uur ve. But the hright sunbeam darteth from the skies - ■ One more in lieaven! One more ut home! Ttít íb not hom, where crampcd in earthly mold Our ftight ot Chriat is dim - our love is cold, But there, where face to face we ehall behold, Is home and heaven! One less on earth! lts pains, its eorrows, ar,d its toils to share; One Icss the pilgrim'l dèr cross tobear; One more tlie crown of ransomed souls tci wear, At home in heavenl One more in heaven! Another thought to brighton cloudy daye, Another theme of thankfulnesa and praise, Another link on high our soiiiS to raise To home and heaven! One more at home! That home where separation cannot be, Tliat home where none are niissed cternally, Lord Jesus grant us all a placewithTh.ee At home in hoaven!
