Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#337

337. I Go To Heaven, There Is My Home

1 I go to heaven, there is my home,
There is no sin and no sorrow,
There is the city that shall become
My blest abode of to-morrow,
There is the city that shall become
My blest abode of tomorrow.

2 There is the joy I on earth have missed,
There is the hope that was fleeting,
And there my Lord and my Savior blest
The host of pilgrims is greeting,
And there my Lord and my Savior blest
The host of pilgrims is greeting.

3 I hasten on to my home on high,
With joy and gladness proceeding,
Although from weakness I oft must sigh
When wounds severely are bleeding,
Although from weakness I oft must sigh
When wounds severely are bleeding.

4 I go to heaven, there is my home,
There is no sorrow, nor weeping,
There is the city where saints shall roam
And hence-forth dwell in God's keeping,
There is the city where saints shall roam
And hence-forth dwell in God's keeping.
