When the stranger asks a home,   All his toils to end; When the hungry craveth food,   And the poor a friend; When the sailor on the wave   Bows the fervent knee; When the soldier on the field   Lifts his heart to thee : Hear then in love, Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.
When the man of toil and care.   In the city crowd; When the shepherd on the moor   Names the Name of God; When the learned and the high.   Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent.   Name the blessed Name : Hear then in love, Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.
When the child, with grave fresh lip,   Youth or maiden fair; When the aged, weak and grey,   Seek thy face in prayer; When the widow weeps to thee.   Sad and lone and low; When the orphan brings to thee   All his orphan woe : Hear then in love, Lord, the cry. In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.
When creation, in her pangs.   Heaves her heavy groan; When thy Salem's exiled sons   Breathe their bitter moan; When thy widowed, weeping Church,   Looking for a home, Sendeth up her silent sigh —   Come, Lord Jesus, come': Hear then in love, Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.
