Text: | I'm But a Stranger Here |
Author: | T. R. Taylor |
Tune: | HEAVEN IS MY HOME |
Composer: | Arthur S. Sullivan |
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 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 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.
