Representative Text

While trav'ling through this vale of tears,
Amidst temptations, doubts and fears,
Our Saviour, by His precious grace,
Has offer'd us a home--a better place.
A home where saints and angels sing
A heav'nly chorus to their King.

(Chorus)
Home, home, home,
There is no place like home.
