- 1I'm but a stranger here,
- Heav'n is my home;
- Only a sojourner,
- Heav'n is my home.
- Danger and sorrow stand
- Round me on ev'ry hand,
- Heav'n is my fatherland,
- Heav'n is my home.
- 2What though the tempests rage,
- Heaven is my home;
- Short is my pilgrimage,
- Heaven is my home.
- And time's wild wintry blast
- Soon will be over-past;
- I shall reach home at last,
- Heaven is my home.
- 3Therefore, I'll murmur not,
- Heaven is my home;
- Whate'er my earthly lot,
- Heaven is my home.
- For I shall surely stand
- There at my Lord's right hand;
- Heaven is my fatherland,
- Heaven is my home.
