Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One ‎#39

39. My Heav'nly Home

My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
No sin or death can enter there;
Its glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine,
That heav’nly mansion shall be mine.

Chorus:
Happy home where Jesus reigns,
Where sorrow never entrance gains,
Where not a cloud shall ever come,
My bright, eternal home.

My Father’s house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heav’nly mansion mine shall be.

Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour and waves o’erflow;
Be mine the happier lot to own
A heav’nly mansion near the throne.

Then fail the earth, let stars decline,
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
All nature sink and cease to be,
That heav’nly mansion stands for me.
