1 Heavenly home! heavenly home! precious name to me!
I love to think the time will come when I shall rest in thee.
I've no abiding city here, I seek for one to come,
And tho' my pilgrimage be drear, I know there's rest at home.
Chorus:
Heavenly home! heavenly home! precious name to me!
I love to think the time will come when I shall rest in thee.
2 Heavenly home! heavenly home! there no clouds arise,
No tear-drops fall no dark nights dim thy ever-smiling skies.
This earthly home is fair and bright, Yet clouds will often come;
And oh! I long to see the light That gilds my heavenly home!
Chorus:
Heavenly home! heavenly home! there no clouds arise,
No tear-drops fall no dark nights dim thy ever-smiling skies.
3 Heavenly home! heavenly home! ne'er shall sorrow's gloom,
Nor doubts nor fears, disturb me there, for all is peace at home.
I know I ne'er shall worthy be To dwell 'neath heavens bright dome;
But Christ, my Saviour, died for me, And now he calls me home.
Chorus:
Heavenly home! heavenly home! ne'er shall sorrow's gloom,
Nor doubts nor fears, disturb me there, for all is peace at home.
