Verse 1

My heav’nly home is bright and fair, Nor pain nor death can enter there; It’s glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine, That heav’nly mansion shall me mine.

Refrain

I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going home to die no more; To die no more; to die no more- I’m going home to die no more.

Verse 2

My Father’s house is built on high, Far, far above the starry sky; When from this earthly prison free, That heav’nly mansion mine shall be.

Verse 3

Let others seek a home below, Which flames devour or waves oe’r flow; Be mine a happier lot to own A heav’nly mansion near the throne.
