311. "Home at last"

1 We are but strangers here,
Heaven is our home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is our home.
Danger and sorrow stand
Round us on every hand,
Heaven is our Fatherland,
Heaven is our home.

2 What though the tempest rage?
Heaven is our home;
Short is our pilgrimage,
Heaven is our home.
And Time's wild wintry blast
Soon shall be overpast,
We shall reach home at last;
Heaven is our home.

3 There at our Saviour's side,
Heaven is our home;
May we be glorified;
Heaven is our home:
There are the good and blest,
Those we love most and best,
Grant us with them to rest;
Heaven is our home.

4 Grant us to murmur not,
Heaven is our home,
Whate'er our earthly lot,
Heaven is our home.
Grant us at last to stand
There at thine own right hand,
Jesus, in Fatherland:
Heaven is our home!
