Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11247 First Line: Had earth no thorns among its flowers Refrain First Line: Home, sweet home Lyrics: 1 Had earth no thorns among its flowers,
And life no fount of tears,
We might forget our better home,
Beyond this vale of tears.
Refrain:
Home, sweet home;
Our beautiful home beyond.
Our home that Jesus has gone to prepare,
Our beautiful home beyond.
2 How wisely God our cup has filled,
With mingled joy and grief,
To teach our hearts that mortal things,
Tho’ bright, are only brief. [Refrain]
3 Our better home! how sweet to think,
When torn from those we love,
No sad farewell can ever reach
Our better home above. [Refrain]
4 O blissful moment when aside
These earthly robes we’ll cast,
Then wake to know our souls have found
The better home at last. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Had earth no thorns among its flowers]
Our Better Home Beyond
