445. I’m But a Stranger Here

C       G7 C
I’m but a  stranger here,

Dm     C  G  C
Heav’n is my home;

C        G7 C
Earth is a  desert drear,

Dm     C  G  C
Heav’n is my home.

C   F   C          G7
Dan-ger and sorrow stand

      C  G7       C
Round me on every hand;

F            C
Heav’n is my Fatherland,

Am     Dm G7 C
Heav’n is my home.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
What though the tempest rage,
Heav’n is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heav’n is my home;
And time’s wild wintry blast
Soon shall be over past;
I shall reach home at last,
Heav’n is my home.

[Verse 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 love most and best;
And there I, too, shall rest,
Heav’n is my home.
