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.
