Text:Heaven is My Home
Author:Rev. Thos. R. Taylor
Tune:[I'm but a stranger here]
Composer:A. H. A.

58. Heaven is My Home

1 I'm but a stranger here,
Heav'n is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heav'n is my home;
Danger and sorrow stand
'Round me on ev'ry hand;
Heav'n is my fatherland;
Heav'n is my home.

Chorus:
Home, beautiful home,
Heav'n is my fatherland, my home, sweet home;
Home, beautiful home,
Heav'n is my fatherland, my home, sweet home.

2 What tho' the tempest rage?
Heav'n is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heav'n is my home;
And time's wild, wintry blast
Soon will be over past;
I shall reach home at last;
Heav'n is my home. [Chorus]

3 Therefore I murmur not,
Heav'n is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heav'n is my home;
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand;
Heav'n is my fatherland;
Heav'n is my home. [Chorus]
