91b. My heavenly home is bright and fair

1 My heavenly home is bright and fair;
No pain, or death can enter there;
Its glittering towers the sun out-shine,
That heavenly mansion shall be mine.

Chorus:
I'm going home to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more.

2 My Father's house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be. [Chorus]

3 While here, a stranger far from home,
Affliction's waves may round me foam,
And, though like Lazarus, sick and poor,
My heavenly mansion is secure. [Chorus]

4 Let others seek a home below,
Where flames devour, or waves o'erflow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heavenly mansion near the throne. [Chorus]

5 Then fail this earth, let stars decline,
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
All nature sink and cease to be,
That heavenly mansion stands for me. [Chorus]
