Text: | I'm but a stranger here |
Author: | Thomas R. Taylor |
Tune: | OAK |
Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is my home;
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand,
Heaven is my Fatherland,
Heaven is my home.
2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home.
Time's cold and wintry blast
Soon will be overpast;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.
3 There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home;
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
There'll be the good and blest,
Those I love most and best,
There, too, I soon shall rest;
Heaven is my home.
