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
