1.

There are many feasts around,
But at home it’s best, I’ve found.
Where we’ve many vict’ries, isn’t that the best place?
I’m a guest when I’m away,
Also when at home I stay.
Then my heart sings songs of triumph,
For, indeed, I’m truly in a blest place.

2.

God can lead us here or there;
He may lead us anywhere.
Battles rage, and constantly they change location.
Sometimes winds one way will blow,
Then the other way they go.
In this way men of the Spirit
Follow their great Captain of Salvation.

3.

How the Spirit moves God’s men
None through reason comprehend.
It is God who justifies; by Him they’re driven.
When the Spirit leads, it’s good—
O that people understood!
When we trust Him and obey Him,
We don’t fear—our lives to Him are given.

4.

Hallelujah is my song!
Hallelujah all day long!
Hallelujah now my heart is ever singing.
Hallelujah I will sing
Evermore to Christ my King!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
From my heart my praises ever bringing!
