Sheet music
- 1My heav’nly home is bright and fair;Nor pain nor death can enter there;Its glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine;That heav’nly mansion shall be mine.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.
- 2My 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.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.
- 3Let others seek a home below,Which flames devour, or waves o’erflow;Be mine the happier lot to ownA heav’nly mansion near the throne.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.
