DIMORA

~ Italian: "Home" ~

Walk with me safely home, FATHER
For this race I have now just begun
Give me the strength to resist temptation
And take all my pride ‘til I’ve none
No more shall I ever roam
If YOU walk with me , FATHER, safely home

Bring me lovingly home, FATHER
When my soul is still yearning to go
When my chiefest of joys is abiding in YOU
And nothing will bring me low
No more shall I ever roam
If YOU bring me, FATHER, lovingly home

Lead me gently home, FATHER
Grasp my hand in THINE
Be my comfort in times of fear
Let me know that THOU art mine
No more shall I ever roam
If YOU lead me, FATHER, gently home

Carry me tenderly home, FATHER
When I’ve lost my will to run
When my soul is so weary, and weak, and discouraged
Show me that I’m not done
No more shall I ever roam
If YOU carry me, FATHER, tenderly home

Call me peacefully home, FATHER
When death has its hold on me
May I die in the very arms of faith
And be received, at last, to THEE
No more shall I ever roam
If YOU call me, FATHER, peacefully home.
