I'm but a stranger here

1I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home!
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is my home!
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand,
Heaven is my Fatherland,
Heaven is my home.

2What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home.
Time's cold and wintry blast
Soon will be overpast;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.

3There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home,
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
There'll be the good and blest,
Those I love most and best,
There, too, I soon shall rest,
Heaven is my home.
