Author: Thomas R. Taylor Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #591 (1899) Lyrics: 1 We are but strangers here,
Heaven is our home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is our home.
Danger and sorrow stand
Round us on every hand,
Heaven is our fatherland,
Heaven is our home.
2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is our home;
Short is our pilgrimage,
Heaven is our home.
And Time's wild wintry blast
Soon shall be overpast,
We shall reach home at last;
Heaven is our home.
3 There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is our home;
May we be glorified,
Heaven is our home.
There are the good and blest,
Those we love most and best,
Grant us with them to rest;
Heaven is our home.
4 Grant us to murmur not,
Heaven is our home;
Whate'er our earthly lot,
Heaven is our home.
Grant us at last to stand
There at Thine own right hand,
Jesus, in Fatherland:
Heaven is our home.
Amen. Topics: Heaven Our Home Languages: English Tune Title: OAK
