436- The Homeland
Doctrines: Eternal Life
1
- The homeland! O the homeland!
- The land of the freeborn!
- There's no night in the homeland,
- But aye the fadeless morn;
- I'm sighing for the homeland,
- My heart is aching here;
- There is no pain in the homeland
- To which I'm drawing near;
- There is no pain in the homeland
- To which I'm drawing near.
2
- My Lord is in the homeland,
- With angels bright and fair;
- There's no sin in the homeland,
- And no temptation there;
- The music of the homeland
- Is ringing in my ears;
- And when I think of the homeland
- My eyes are filled with tears;
- And when I think of the homeland
- My eyes are filled with tears.
3
- The dwellers in the homeland
- Are beckoning me to come,
- Where neither death nor sorrow
- Invades their holy home;
- O dear, dear native country!
- O rest and peace above!
- Christ bring us all to the homeland
- Of Thy redeeming love;
- Christ bring us all to the homeland
- Of Thy redeeming love.
