106. The Homeland

1 The Homeland! O the Homeland!
The land of souls free-born!
There's no night in the Homeland,
But aye fade-less morn;
I’m sighing for the Homeland,
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the Homeland
to which I’m drawing near;
There is no pain in the HOmeland
To which I'm drawing near.

2 My Lord is in the Homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
There's no sin in the Homeland,
And no temptation there;
The music of the Homeland
Is ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the Homeland,
My eyes are wet with tears;
And when I think of the Homeland,
My eyes are wet with tears.

3 My loved ones in the Homeland
Are waiting me to come,
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invades their holy home;
O dear, dear native country!
O rest and peace above!
Christ bring us all to the Homeland,
Of Thy redeeming love;
Christ bring us all to the Homeland,
Of Thy redeeming love.
