Hymn 455

1I'M but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home ;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is my home ;
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand ;
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home.

2What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home ;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home ;
Time's cold and wintry blast
Soon will be overpast ;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.

3There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home ;
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
