My heavenly home is bright and fair,
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
Its glittering towers the sun outshine,
That heavenly mansion shall be mine.
I知 going home, I知 going home,
I知 going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I知 going home to die no more.
My Father痴 home is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be.
I知 going home, I知 going home,
I知 going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I知 going home to die no more.
Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour, or waves o弾rflow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heavenly mansion near the throne.
I知 going home, I知 going home,
I知 going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I知 going home to die no more.
Then fail this earth, let stars decline.
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
All nature sink and cease to be,
That heavenly mansion stands for me.
I知 going home, I知 going home,
I知 going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I知 going home to die no more.
---Alternative verses---
My Father痴 house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be.
I知 going home, I知 going home,
I知 going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I知 going home to die no more.
