My heart’s in the Homeland,
far, far o’er the tide,
Where those who are faithful
shall ever abide;
My heart’s in the Homeland,
that region so fair,
Where loved ones are waiting
to welcome me there.
My heart’s in the Homeland,
That region, that region fair;
My heart’s in the Homeland,
My Saviour, my Saviour is there.
My heart’s in the Homeland,
and why should I fear?
When labour is ended
a voice I shall hear
That calls to a mansion
where love never dies,
To yonder fair region
beyond the blue skies.
My heart’s in the Homeland,
That region, that region fair;
My heart’s in the Homeland,
My Saviour, my Saviour is there.
My heart’s in the Homeland—
its valleys and hills,
Its sunshine with gladness
my whole being thrills;
I know some glad morning
my spirit will soar
Away to the Homeland,
and rest evermore.
My heart’s in the Homeland,
That region, that region fair;
My heart’s in the Homeland,
My Saviour, my Saviour is there.
