His home in heav'n, his happy home in heav'n

Appears in 106 hymnals First Line: A home in heav'n! what a joyful thought Lyrics: 1 A home in heav'n! what a joyful thought, As the poor man toils in his weary lot; His heart oppress'd, and with anguish driv'n, From his home on earth, to his home in heav'n. Chorus: His home in heav'n, his happy home in heav'n, His home in heav'n, His happy home in heav'n. 2 A home in heav'n! when our pleasures fade, And our wealth and fame in the dust are laid; Our strength decays, and our health is riv'n, We are happy still with a home in heav'n. [Chorus] 3 A home in heav'n! as the sufferer lies On his bed of pain, and uplifts his eyes To that bright world, what a joy is giv'n, By the blessed tho't of a home in heav'n. [Chorus] 4 A home in heav'n! where our friends are fled, From the cheerless gloom of the mould'ring dead; We wait in hope on the promise giv'n; We shall meet again in our home in heav'n. [Chorus] Used With Tune: A HOME IN HEAVEN
