219. I'm but a stranger here

1 I'm but a stranger here;
Heaven is my home,
Earth is a desert drear:
Heaven is my home.
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on ev'ry hand,
Heaven is my Father land--
Heaven is my home.

2 What though the tempests rage:
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage:
Heaven is my home;
And time's wild, wintry blast
Soon will be over past,
I shall reach home at last--
Heaven is my home.

3 Therefore I murmur not:
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home;
And I shall surely stand
There at the Lord's right hand:
Heaven is my Father land--
Heaven is my home.
