Author: Wm. Hunter, D. D. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #95 (1898) First Line: My heav'nly home is bright and fair Refrain First Line: I'm going home, I'm going home Lyrics: 1 My heav'nly home is bright and fair;
Nor pain, nor death can enter there:
Its glitt'ring tow'rs the sun outshine;
That heav'nly mansion shall be mine.
Chorus:
I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more!
To die no more, to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more!
2 My Father's house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky:
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be. [Chorus]
3 While here, a stranger far from home,
Affliction's waves may round me foam;
Although like Lazarus, sick and poor,
My heavenly mansion is secure. [Chorus]
4 Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour, or waves o'erflow
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heavenly mansion near the throne. [Chorus]
5 Then fail this earth, let stars decline,
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
All nature sink and cease to be,
That heavenly mansion stands for me. [Chorus] Topics: Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [My heav'nly home is bright and fair]
