This land is not the land for me.

This world is not my home;
This world is all a wilderness;
This world is not my home.

Verse 2

I found the winding path of sin
A rugged path to travel in;
Beyond this fading world I see
The land the Saviour bought for me.
This world is not my home, &c.

Verse 3

Farewell! my friends! ! I'll not stay here–
The home I seek will soon appear;
Where Christ is not I cannot be;
This land is not the land for me.
This world is not my home, This world is not my home;
This world is all a wilderness;
This world is not my home.

Verse 4

Praise be to God, our hope's on high;
The angels sing and so do I:
Where seraphs bow and bend the knee,
0 that's the land–the land for me.
This world is not my home, This world is not my home;
This world is all a wilderness;
This world is not my home.

This world is not my home.
