I'm but a stranger here
1
I'm but a stranger here,Heaven is my home;Earth is a desert drear,Heaven is my home;Danger and sorrow standRound me on every hand,Heaven is my Fatherland,Heaven is my home.
2
What though the tempest rage,Heaven is my home;Short is my pilgrimage,Heaven is my home.Time's cold and wintry blastSoon will be overpast;I shall reach home at last,Heaven is my home.
3
There at my Saviour's side,Heaven is my home,I shall be glorified,Heaven is my home.There 'll be the good and blest,Those I love most and best,There, too, I soon shall rest;Heaven is my home.
