HEAVEN IS MY HOME
Words by Thomas Rawson Taylor
Music by Michael J Lewis
I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear;
Heaven is my home:
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand;
Heaven is my fatherland
Heaven is my home.
What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home:
And time's wild wintry blast
Soon shall be over past;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.
There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home;
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
There with the good and blest,
Those we love most and best;
We shall forever rest,
Heaven is my home.
Therefore I murmur not,
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home:
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand:
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home
