The Little Seraph ‎#59

59. Heavenly home

1 Heav'nly home! heav'nly home!
Precious name to me;
I love to think the time will come
When I shall rest in thee.
I've no abiding city here;
I seek for one to come;
And tho' my pilgrimage be drear,
I know there's rest at home.
Heav'nly home! heav'nly home!
Precious name to me;
I love to think the time will come
When I shall rest in thee.

2 Heav'nly home! heav'nly home!
There no clouds arise,
No tear drops fall no dark nights dim
Thy ever-smiling skies.
This earthly home is fair and bright,
Yet clouds will often come;
And oh! I long to see the light
That gilds my heav'nly home.
Heavenly home! heav'nly home!
There no clouds arise,
No tear drops fall, no dark nights dim
Thy ever-smiling skies.

3 Heavenly home! heavenly home!
Ne'er shall sorrow's gloom,
Nor doubts nor fears disturb me there,
For all is peace at home.
I know I ne'er shall worthy be
To dwell 'neath heav'ns bright dome;
But Christ, my Saviour, died for me,
And now he calls me home.
