The Father Calls Come Hom
When, along life's thorny road
Author: Anon. Appears in 43 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 When, along life's thorny road,
Faints the soul beneath the load;
When, by cares and sins oppressed,
Earth affords no peace or rest;
When the wily tempter's near,
Filling us with doubt and fear,
Jesus, to thy cross we flee;
Jesus, we will look to thee.
2 Thou, our Saviour, from the throne,
List'nest to thy people's moan;
Thou, the living Head, dost share
Every pang thy members bear.
Full of tenderness thou art;
Thou wilt heal the broken heart;
Full of power, thine arm shall quell
All the rage and might of hell.
3 Mighty to redeem and save,
Thou hast overcome the grave;
Thou the bars of death hast riven,
Opened wide the gates of heaven.
Soon in glory thou shalt come,
Taking thy poor pilgrims home;
Jesus, then we all shall be,
Ever, ever, Lord with thee. Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Used With Tune: COME HOME

After a time he became a decided Christian, and being of an emotional poetic temperament, began to give expression to his new thoughts and feelings in hymns. In 1783 he was baptized by the Rev. Dr. Rippon, and in 1791 became minister of a Baptist congregation in East Street, Walworth. After a short but popular and very useful ministry, he died April 16, 1796 Swain published the following:—

In addition to a limited number of Swain's hymns, annotated under their respective first lines, the following, from his Walworth Hymns1792, and the 2nd ed., 1796, are also in common use:—
1. Brethren, while we sojourn here. Mutual Encouragement.

4. Come, ye souls, by sin afflicted. The Yoke of Christ.

18. When firm I [we] stand on Zion's hill. Confidence. Sometimes as "I stand on Zion's mount," in American collections.
19. Who can forbear to sing? Praise of Jesus.
From his Redemption, a Poem in Five Books, 1791, the following hymns are also in common use:--
20. 0 Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight. In Affliction.
21. Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you see? Comfort in Affliction.
Of these hymns the most widely known are Nos. 1, 5, 6, and 20. We may add that several of Swain's hymns appeared in The Theological Miscellany, 1784-1789. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]
