The Homeland

The dwellers in the Homeland Are beck'ning me to come, Where neither death nor sorrow Invades their holy home; O dear, dear native country! O rest and peace above! Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of Thy redeeming love; Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of Thy redeeming love. Used With Tune: [The Homeland! O the Homeland!]
