Author: Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 2 #146 (1896) First Line: I learned a song with sweet refrain Refrain First Line: Home, home, sweet, sweet home Lyrics: 1 I learned a song with sweet refrain,
Back in the long ago,
I sang it o’er and o’er again,
Because I loved it so,
This golden sing I often heard,
In soothing lullaby,
As mother breath’d each tender word
To hush the baby cry.
Refrain:
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
There is no place like home,
There is no place like home.
2 One day I left my father’s cot,
Another home to fill,
Yet often in my daily tho’ts,
This song would linger still,
A treasure in my heart to keep
My nestlings heard each strain,
And oft in dreamland took a peep,
While learning the refrain. [Refrain]
3 My birds from out the parents nest,
To other homes have flown;
Yet still the song of songs the best,
I sing when all alone,
Sometime in yonder shining home,
I’ll find my loved again,
And while the ages go and come,
We’ll sing in sweeter strain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I learned a song with sweet refrain]
