This World is not my Home

This world is not my home

I'm just a passing through

My treasures and my hope

Is placed beyond the blue

Many friends and kindred

Have gone on before

And I can’t feel at home

In this world anymore

Oh Lord you know

I have no friend like you

If heaven's not my home

Oh Lord what will I do

Angels beckon me

To Heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

Over in Glory Land

They’ll be no dying there

The saints all shouting

“Victory! ”

And singing everywhere

I hear the voice of them

Who’ve gone on before

And I can’t feel at home

In this world anymore

Heaven’s expecting me

That’s one thing I know

I fixed it up with Jesus

A long time ago

He will take me through

Though I am weak and poor

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

If you get there before me

I’ll be there just the same

You’ll hear me when I shout

“Oh, Glory to His Name! ”

I’ll fly away with Him

My Saviour I adore

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore
