HEAVEN IS MY HOME.

“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.

“What though the tempests rage?

Heaven is my home:

Short is my pilgrimage;

Heaven is my home:

And time’s wild wintry blast

Soon will be overpast;

I shall reach home at last.

Heaven is my home.

“Therefore I murmur not;

Heaven is my home:

Whate’er my earthly lot,

Heaven is my home:

And I shall surely stand

There at my Lord’s right hand:

Heaven is my fatherland,

Heaven is my home.”
