Lyics

I am a stranger here;
No home, no rest I see;
Not all earth's courts most dear 
Can win a sigh from me.  I'm going home.


Jesus, thy home is mine,
And I thy Father's child;
With hopes and joys divine,
The world's a dreary wild.  I'm going home.


Home, O how soft and sweet
It thrills upon the heart!
Home, where the brethren meet,
And never never part.  I'm going home.


Home, where the Bridegroom takes
The purchase of his love;
Home, where the Father waits
To welcome saints above.  I'm going home.
