A dear friend sent me all the verses of "A Place Called Home" so I am sharing them here. I want to write about our Associates, but have been waiting for the material that was to be sent me. I think I promised to feature the Associates this week so hopefully I will do so with facts and not just my own knowledge.
A Place Called Home
Members of AUSCP have the right to reproduce the hymn text free of charge UNTIL the piece is published by GIA, Inc., as long as the copyright notice at the bottom of the page is also reproduced.
The hymn tune is from Jean Sibelius’ tone poem, Finlandia.
A place called home with comfort for the weary:
A place called home of nourishment and rest:
A place called home that welcomes in the stranger,
Where one unknown becomes an honored guest,
Where love can find a human habitation:
God grant us all this grace -- a place called home.
A place called home where tenderness can flourish,
A place called home, a haven from all harm:
A place called home where children sleep in safety:
Where hurts are healed, a shelter from the storm,
Where peace can find a human habitation:
God grant us all this grace -- a place called home.
A place called home, a promise for tomorrow:
A place called home, a vision handed down:
A place called home for all God’s sons and daughters,
Where love prevails and peace is ever found,
Where hope can find a human habitation:
God grant us all this grace -- a place called home.
A place called home for ev’ry human being:
A place called home, where arms are opened wide;
A place called home, where all extend the welcome;
Where none are lost, alone, or cast aside
But members of a single human fam’ly.
God grant us grace to build a place called home.
