Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #93 (1845) Meter: Irregular First Line: I seek a place which is out of sight Refrain First Line: I'm bound for home, for my blissful home Lyrics: 1 I seek a place which is out of sight;
A city high up in the skies;
There, there is my home, all pure and bright,
And homeward my spirit still hies.
Chorus:
I'm bound for home, for my blissful home,
The house and the city above;
And all who forsake their sins may come,
And dwell in that city of love.
2 I seek a place where they heave no sigh;
Where sorrow can never be known;
But where I shall drink from founts of joy,
That gush ever bright from the throne. [Chorus]
3 I seek a place where they never die;
Where beauty and youth never fade;
Where never is heard the mournful cry,
"My friend, my beloved, is dead." [Chorus]
4 I seek a place where they sin no more;
Where Satan my foe cannot lure;
And oh! when I reach that blessed shore,
My soul is for ever secure. [Chorus]
5 I seek a place where the patriarchs shine;
Apostles, and martyrs, and seers;
Encircled in robes of light divine,
Triumphant o'er sorrow and fears. [Chorus]
6 I seek a place where the Saviour reigns;
That Jesus once nail'd to the tree:
He purchased that place with blood and pains,
And went to prepare it for me. [Chorus]
I'm bound for home
