Our Heavenly Home.

By M. J. Cottrell

TUNE. “Our Own Dear Home.”

HOME, dear home, where angels dwell, Where rich heavenly anthems swell, Oh we long for thy sweet rest, For we have weary grown by care oppressed.

CHORUS: Jesus Saviour come, take us home, Here in sorrow’s vale no more to roam, Earthly beauties fade, ties are riven, Take us dear Jesus to our home in Heaven.

Wandering here ’mid care and strife, All our path with danger rife, Meeting oft the tempter’s snare, Hear us, O hear us, is our earnest prayer.

CHORUS: Jesus Saviour come, &c.

Here how oft we smile through tears, Trembling while we hope through fears; Oft we bow our heads and weep, Earth has grown dreary for our loved ones sleep.

CHORUS:

Home, dear home, where white robes are, Where naught will our pleasure mar, Oh, we soon shall gain thy shore, And meet there our loved ones to part no more.

CHORUS:

M. J. COTTRELL. Rochester, N. Y.
