LyicsI seek a place which is out of sight,
A city up in the skies;
There, there is my home,
And homeward my spirit
CHORUS
I'm bound for home, for my
The house and the city above
And all who forsake their sins
And dwell in that city of love
I seek a place where they heave no
Where sorrow can never be known;
But where I shall drink from the founts of joy
That gush ever bright from the throne,
I'm bound for home, &c.
I seek a place where thy sin no more,
Where Satan, my foe, cannot lure;
And oh! when I reach that blessed shore
My soul is forever secure.
I'm bound for home, &c.
I seek a place where the patriarchs shine,
Apostles, and martyrs, and seers;
Encircled in robes of light divine,
Triumphant o'er sorrow and fears.
I'm bound for home, &c.
I seek a place where the Saviour reigns,
That Jesus once nailed to the tree;
He purchased that place with blood and pains,
And went to prepare it for me.
I'm bound for home , &c.
