My Home Above

Author: Louisa E. Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 4 #235 (1900) First Line: I love to think of my home above Refrain First Line: Home, sweet home Lyrics: 1 I love to think of my home above, In the glorious realms of light; Of the pearly gates and the golden streets, In the land where there is no night. Refrain: Home, sweet home! Happy home, sweet home! Oh, say, will you meet me there, In that home above, Where all is love, And joys beyond compare. 2 I love to think of my home above, Of that pure and holy clime, Where the sorrows of earth can never come, But eternal joys will be mine. [Refrain] 3 I love to think of my home above, Of the angel forms so bright; Of the blessed ones there around the throne, In the land of pure delight [Refrain] 4 Sweetest of all is the tho’t of Him Who did leave His throne on high, And did come to this sinful world of ours To suffer, and bleed, and die. [Refrain] 5 That in that beautiful home above, I may have a mansion fair; And my heart is full of joy and praise, For I know that my treasure is there. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I love to think of my home above]
