I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my home; Earth is a desert drear, Heaven is my home; Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand; Heaven is my fatherland, Heaven is my home. What though the tempest rage, Heaven is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heaven is my home; And time’s wintry blast Soon shall be over past; I shall reach home at last, Heaven is my home. Therefore I murmur not, Heaven is my home; Whatever my earthly lot, Heaven is my home; And I shall surely stand There at my Lord’s right hand. Heaven is my fatherland, Heaven is my home. Randal
