Text:I have a home that is fairer than day
Author:Ada Mary Nisbett (c 1866-1931)

881. I have a home that is fairer than day

1 I have a home that is fairer than day,
And my dear Saviour has shown me the way;
Oft when I’m sad and temptations arise,
I look to my home far away.

Refrain:
My home is in Heaven, there is no parting there,
All will be happy, glorious, bright and fair;
There’ll be no sorrow, there will be no rears,
In that bright home Jar away.

2 Friends I shall see who have journeyed before
And landed safe on that beautiful shore;
I shall see Jesus, that will be my joy
In that bright home far away.

3 O who will journey to Heaven with me?
Jesus has died that we all may be free;
Come then to him who has laid up for you
A crown in that home far away.
