I'm going home. 1 Beautiful Zion built above, Beautiful city that I love! Beautiful gates of pearly white, Beautiful temple--God its light! He who was slain on Calvary, Opens those pearly gates to me. 2 Jesus, thy home is mine, And I thy Father's child; With hopes and joys divine, The world's a dreary wild. I'm going home. 3 Home, O how soft and sweet It thrills up on the heart! Home, where the brethren meet, And never never part. I'm going home. 4 Home, where the Bridegroom takes The purchase of his love; Home, where the Father waits To welcome saints above. I'm going home. Used With Tune: [I am a stranger here]

Author of "I Am A Stranger Here" in The Believers Hymn Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
