The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#882

882. I'm but a stranger here

1 I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is mv home.
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand;
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home.

2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home.
And time’s wild wintry blast
Soon will be overpast,
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.

3 There, at my Saviour’s side,
Heaven is my home,
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home;
There, with the good and blest,
Those I loved most and best,
I shall for ever rest,
Heaven is my home.
