119 Heaven’s My Home

Words: Arr. R. H. Davis & J. S. Terry, 1869

Music: R. H. Davis & J. S. Terry, 1869

Meter: 11s (11,11,11,11)

Come, all my dear brethren, and help me to sing,
I’m going to Jesus, He’s heaven’s great King.
He died to atone for the sins of the world;
His banner is flying, His sails are unfurled.

Chorus:

Heav’n’s my home,
I’m going to Jesus, for heav’n’s my home.

While here in the valley of conflict I stay,
Oh give me submission, and strength as my day,
In all my afflictions to Thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.

(Chorus)

I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine,
No more as an exile in sorrow to pine;
And in Thy dear image arise from the tomb,
With glorified millions to praise Thee at home.

(Chorus)
