A HOME IN THE EARTH MADE NEW.
By H. M. KILLGORE
TUNE.— “O give me a home by the sea.” Oh give me a home with the saints—
A home in the earth made new;
Where the soul will be freed from complaints,
And pleasures be lasting and true.
I’m tired of this world’s ceaseless strife;
Of trials, we here must pass through—
I long for a happier life,
And a home in the earth made new. A home! a home!
A home in the earth made new. Oh give me a home with the blest—
A home in the city of God;
Where the tried from temptations shall rest,
And evermore dwell with the Lord.
Earthly joys are soon over and past;
Earth’s treasures depart from us too—
I long for the joys that will last,
And a home in the earth made new. A home! a home!
A home in the earth made new.
