462 I'm but a stranger here, Heaven is my home;

1 I'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. 2 What though the tempests rage? Heaven is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heaven is my home; And time's wild wintry blast Soon shall be overpast, I shall reach home at last; Heaven is my home. 3 There, at my Savior's side, Heaven is my home; May I be glorified, Heaven is my home; There are the good and blest, Those I love most and best, Grant me with them to rest; Heaven is my home. 4 Therefore I murmur not, Heaven is my home; Whate'er my earthly lot, Heaven is my home; And I shall surely stand There at my Lord's right hand, Heaven is my fatherland; Heaven is my home.
