The Jewel ‎#64

64. My Home Is There

1 Above the waves of earthly strife,
Above the ills and cares of life;
Where all is peaceful, bright and fair;
My home is there, My home is there.

Chorus:
My beautiful home, My beautiful home,
In the land where the glorified ever shall roam,
Where angels bright wear crowns of light,
My home is there, my home is there.

2 Where living fountains sweetly flow,
Where buds and flowers immortal grow,
Where trees their fruits celestial bear;
My home is there, my home is there. [Chorus]

3 Far from sorrow, doubt and pain,
Away from worldly loss and gain,
From all temptation, tears and care;
My home is there, my home is there. [Chorus]

4 Beyond the bright and pearly gates,
Where Jesus, loving Saviour, waits,
Where all is peaceful, bright and fair,
My home is there, my home is there. [Chorus]
