1 In this world we have our troubles, Sometimes lonesome, sometimes blue; But the hope of life eternal, Brightens all our hopes anew. Refrain: I don't want to get adjusted to this world, I've got a home that's so much better, I want to to to sooner or later, I don't want to get adjusted to this world. 2 Lord I'm growing worn and weary, There's no place that seems like home; Jesus come my soul to ferry, Where I never more shall roam. [Refrain] 3 I am longing for the coming, Of my Savior, Lord and King, Seems I hear my loved ones singing, A new song I'd like to sing. [Refrain]
