Hymn: TLH 660: I’m But a Stranger Here

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio

1. I’m but 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 shall be overpast; 
I shall reach home at last, 
Heav’n is my home. 

3. There at my Savior’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.
