Author: Charles J. Butler Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A picture bright in tints of gold Refrain First Line: O home, sweet home, in yon blest clime Lyrics: 1 A picture bright in tints of gold Oft in my vision I behold; That picture is my dear homeland With mansions bright that e’er shall stand. Refrain: O home, sweet home, in yon blest clime Safe from the crumbling hand of time, The home a gift from God so free Yes, mine unworthy tho’ I be. 2 Faith holds before my vanished sight My home in yonder land of light; Dear ones methinks I there can see Whose mem’ry precious is to me. [Refrain] 3 The vision of those mansions fair Helps lighten all my grief and care; Yes, makes my heart with rapture swell Yes, gives me joy no tongue can tell. [Refrain] 4 When closes here the book of life And I shall leave earth’s din and strife, With faith and hop all lost in sight I dwell at home with saints in light.
