161b. Far From These Dark Abodes Of Care

1 Far from these dark abodes of care,
Where sorrow vainly weeps,
There is a home divinely fair,
Where love its kingdom keeps.

2 within that happy, blest domain,
No teardrop ever falls,
No gloomy shade of grief or pain
Its pleasure ever palls.

3 Forever, yes for you and me
That home above is given,
Forever there our Lord to see,
To live and love in Heaven.
