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 ev’ry hand;
Heav’n is my fatherland,
Heav’n is my home.
2. What tho’ 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 overpast;
I shall reach home at last,
Heav’n is my home.
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.
4. Therefore I murmur not,
Heav’n is my home;
Whate’er my earthly lot,
Heav’n is my home:
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord’s right hand;
Heav’n is my fatherland,
Heav’n is my home.
Amen.
