"An Alien in a foreign land”
- Exd.2:22



1.  I am a stranger here

     Heav’n is my Home

     Earth is a desert drear 

     Heav’n is my Home

     Danger and sorrow stand 

     Round me on every hand 

     Heav’n is my Fatherland 

     Heav'n is my Home.


2.  What though the tempest rage 

     Heav’n is my Home

     Short is my pilgrimage 

     Heav’n is my Home

     And time’s wild wintry blast 

     Soon will be over passed

     I shall reach Home at last 

     Heav‘n is my Home.


3.  There at my Saviour’s side 

     Heav’n is my Home

     I shall be glorified

     Heav’n is my Home 

     There are the good and blest 

     Those I love most and best

     And there I too shall rest 

     Heav’n is my Home.


4.  Therefore I murmur not 

     Heav’n is my Home 

     Whate’er my earthly lot 

     Heav’n is my Home

     And I shall surely stand 

    There at my Lord's right Hand 

    Heav’n is my Fatherland 

    Heav’n is my Home.  Amen
