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]
