Evensong

“O Home in the Church”

O home in the church,
Where we’ve ended our search
With the brothers rejoicing all day;
Where Christ is our life,
And we’re through with all strife,
Now we’re home, hallelujah, to stay!

Home, home in the church;
Yes, it’s here that we’ve ended our search;
And through all our days
We will shout to His praise,
“Hallelujah for Christ and the church!”

Here God is at rest,
Of His treasures the best—
How His heart is rejoicing all day!
His home is our heart,
Ne’er for Satan a part,
Here His glory He’ll fully display.

God’s home is the church;
Yes, it’s here that He ended His search;
And through all our days
We will shout to His praise,
“Hallelujah for Christ and the church!”
