1 There's a beautiful home, waiting over the foam,
That the Lord has prepared for the true;
Built for you and for me, by the beautiful sea,
O I want to live there, don't you?

Refrain:
O I want to live there, heaven's glory to share,
Praising Jesus the long ages thru;
In the Master's great fold, where we'll never grow old,
O I want to live there, don't you?

2 Oft in sadness I roam, then I want to go home,
But my labor on earth is not thru;
So I'll still trudge along with a smile and a song,
O I want to live there, don't you? [Refrain]

3 There the streets are pure gold, I have often been told,
And nobody shall ever be blue;
There will be no goodbyes, no more sorrow or sighs,
O I want to live there, don't you? [Refrain]
