HEAVEN IS MY HOME
1. I'm but a
stranger here,
Heav'n is my home;
Only a sojourner,
Heav'n is my home.
Danger and sorrow
stand,
Round me on ev'ry
hand,
Heav'n is my
fatherland,
Heav'n is my home.
2. What though the
tempests rage,
Heav'n is my home;
Short is my pilgrim
age,
Heav'n is my home.
And time's wild
wintry blast
Soon will be
overpast;
I shall reach home
at last,
Heav'n is my home.
3. Therefore I'll
murmur not,
Heav'n is my home;
What'er my earthly
lot,
Heav'n is my home,
For I shall surely
stand
There at my Lord's
right hand
Heav'n is my
fatherland,
Heav'n is my home.
4. Earth is a
desert drear,
Heav'n is my home;
I shall be
glorified,
Heav'n is my home.
There are the good
and blest,
Those I loved most
and best.
And there I too
shall rest;
Heav'n is my home.
