Lyics

O land of rest, for thee I sigh:
When will the moment come
When I shall lay my armor by 
And dwell in peace at home?


O, this is not my home, 
O, this is not my home.
This world's a wilderness of woe.
This world is not my home.


No tranquil joy on earth I know,
No peaceful sheltering dome;
This world's a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.


Our tears shall all be wiped away,
When we have ceased to roam;
And we shall hear our Father say,
Come, dwell with me at home.
