Hymnal: Kind Words #60 (1871) First Line: A home in heav'n! what a joyful thought Lyrics: 1 A home in heav'n! what a joyful thought,
As the poor man toils in his weary lot;
His heart oppress'd, and with anguish driv'n,
From his home on earth, to his home in heav'n.
Chorus:
His home in heav'n, his happy home in heav'n,
His home in heav'n,
His happy home in heav'n.
2 A home in heav'n! when our pleasures fade,
And our wealth and fame in the dust are laid;
Our strength decays, and our health is riv'n,
We are happy still with a home in heav'n. [Chorus]
3 A home in heav'n! as the sufferer lies
On his bed of pain, and uplifts his eyes
To that bright world, what a joy is giv'n,
By the blessed tho't of a home in heav'n. [Chorus]
4 A home in heav'n! where our friends are fled,
From the cheerless gloom of the mould'ring dead;
We wait in hope on the promise giv'n;
We shall meet again in our home in heav'n. [Chorus]
