Where those who are faithful shall ever abide;
My heart’s in the Homeland, that region so fair,
Where loved ones are waiting to welcome me there.
Refrain:
My heart’s in the Homeland,
That region, that region fair;
My heart’s in the Homeland,
My Saviour, my Savior is there.
2 My heart’s in the Homeland, and why should I fear
When labor is ended, a voice I shall hear
That calls to a mansion where love never dies,
To yonder fair region beyond the blue skies. [Refrain]
3 My heart’s in the Homeland, its valleys and hills,
It’s sunshine with gladness, my whole being thrills;
I know some glad morning my spirit will soar
Away to the Homeland, and rest evermore. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Scripture: Psalm 57:7 Tune Title: [My heart's in the Homeland, far, far o'er the tide]
