Representative Text

1 There is a home, a hap­py home,
Where the wea­ry are at rest,
With the an­gels they sing around the throne,
In that beau­ti­ful land of the blest.

Refrain:
Home, hap­py home,
Home, hap­py home,
Where the an­gels are sing­ing
Around the throne,
In that beau­ti­ful land of the blest.

2 There is a home, a peace­ful home,
Beyond life’s gloomy shore,
Where we shall meet in bliss to roam
With the loved ones gone be­fore. [Refrain]

3 There is a home, a heav’n­ly home,
Where no tears nor sighs mo­lest;
Where all shall dwell in joy un­known,
In that beau­ti­ful land of rest. [Refrain]
