1 In this world we have our troubles,
Sometimes lonesome, sometimes blue;
But the hope of life eternal,
Brightens all our hopes anew.

Refrain: I don't want to get adjusted to this world,
I've got a home that's so much better,
I want to to to sooner or later,
I don't want to get adjusted to this world.

2 Lord I'm growing worn and weary,
There's no place that seems like home;
Jesus come my soul to ferry,
Where I never more shall roam. [Refrain]

3 I am longing for the coming,
Of my Savior, Lord and King,
Seems I hear my loved ones singing,
A new song I'd like to sing. [Refrain]
