The Little Seraph ‎#92a

92a. The Saviour's call

1 Farewell, farewell to all below,
The Saviour calls, and I must go;
I launch my boat upon the sea,
This land is not the land for me.

Chorus:
This world is not my home,
This world is not my home,
This world is all a wilderness,
This world is not my home.

2 I've found the winding paths of sin
A rugged path to travel in;
Beyond the swelling waves I see
The land my Saviour bought for me. [Chorus]

3 Oh! sinner, why will you not go?
There's room enough for you, I know;
Our boat is sound, the passage free,
And there's a better land for thee. [Chorus]

4 Farewell, dear friends, I may not stay,
The home I seek is far away;
Where Christ is not, I cannot be,
This land is not the land for me. [Chorus]
