(Verse 1)
I’m but a stranger here, Heav’n is my home;
Earth is a desert drear, Heav’n is my home.
Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand;
Heav’n is my fatherland, Heav’n is my home.
(Verse 2)
What though the tempest rage, Heav’n is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage, Heav’n is my home;
And time’s wild wintry blast Soon shall be over past;
I shall reach home at last, Heav’n is my home.
(Verse 3)
There at my Savior’s side Heav’n is my home;
I shall be glorified, Heav’n is my home;
There are the good and blest, Those I love most and best;
And there I, too, shall rest, Heav’n is my home.
