Oh the home above (oh the home above) so far away (so far away)
|
That's where we pray (As ) we'll live someday (we'll )
|
In the home above (in ) beyond the starlight sky (beyond)
|
Where the soul of man (where) will never die (will)
|
|
I'm ready to leave (I'm ) this world below (this )
|
To the home above (to ) I'm ready to go (I'm)
|
Then mother will say (then) welcome home our son (welcome)
|
In a heavenly home (in ) our life has just begun (our)
|
|
Oh my mother and dad (oh) have gone on before (have)
|
They're waiting for me (they're) on the heavenly shore (on)
|
I long to see (I ) and shake their hand (and)
|
When I'm safe at home (when) as they had planned (as)
|
|
Oh the beautiful land (in ) where we'll never die (where)
|
That's where my soul (that's) shall rest on high (shall)
|
I'll sing and shout (I'll) for His face I'll see (for)
|
With God I'll rest (with) for eternity (for)
|
