114. I'm Going Home

1 My heav’nly home is bright and fair:
Nor pain, nor death can enter there;
It's glitt'ring tow'rs the sun outshine,
That heav'nly mansion shall be mine.

Chorus:
I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more.

2 My Father's house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heav'nly mansion mine shall be. [Chorus]

3 While here a stranger far from home,
Affliction's waves may round me foam;
Although like Lazarus, sick and poor,
My heav'nly mansion is secure. [Chorus]
