The Song I Love

Author: Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 2 #146 (1896) First Line: I learned a song with sweet refrain Refrain First Line: Home, home, sweet, sweet home Lyrics: 1 I learned a song with sweet refrain, Back in the long ago, I sang it o’er and o’er again, Because I loved it so, This golden sing I often heard, In soothing lullaby, As mother breath’d each tender word To hush the baby cry. Refrain: Home, home, sweet, sweet home, There is no place like home, There is no place like home. 2 One day I left my father’s cot, Another home to fill, Yet often in my daily tho’ts, This song would linger still, A treasure in my heart to keep My nestlings heard each strain, And oft in dreamland took a peep, While learning the refrain. [Refrain] 3 My birds from out the parents nest, To other homes have flown; Yet still the song of songs the best, I sing when all alone, Sometime in yonder shining home, I’ll find my loved again, And while the ages go and come, We’ll sing in sweeter strain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I learned a song with sweet refrain]
