I need the lyrics for the hymn "Heaven is my home." At least that is what I believe is the title. The word begins with these words, "I am but a stranger here, heaven is my home." Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Preacherkev,

Here are some lyrics I'm familiar with...

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;
Time's cold and wild wintry blast soon shall be over past;
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 loved most and best;
There, too, I soon 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.

Hope this is it. God bless!
