I am a stranger here,
No home, no rest I see;
Not all men count most dear
Should win a sigh from me:
I知 going home.
Saviour, Thy home is mine,
And I, Thy Father痴 child;
With hopes and joys divine,
The world痴 a weary wild;
I知 going home.
Home, O how soft and sweet,
It thrills upon the heart!
Home, where the brethren meet,
And never, never part:
I知 going home.
Home, where the Bridegroom takes
The purchase of His love;
Home, where the Father waits
To welcome her above:
I知 going home.
And when the world looks cold,
Which did my Lord revile,
A lamb within the fold,
I can look up and smile:
I知 going home.
Ah! Gently, gently lead,
Along the painful way,
Bid every word and deed
And every look to say,
I知 going home!
