Not Here, But There Is Home

1. Not here not here where sad tears flow,
Not here, not here where sleep my dead,
But there, but there where grief is o'er,
With Christ, my Living Head.

Chorus:
Not here, but there
Is my home, sweet home.
Not here, but there
Is my home, sweet home.

2. Not here, not here 'mid sin and grief,
Not here, not here where tempests beat,
But there, but there in light and love,
With Christ, the Bridegroom sweet. [Chorus]

3. Not here, not here where evil flows
In wild, in wild and swelling tide,
But there, but there, all trials o'er,
I shall with Him abide. [Chorus]
