Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) ‎#337

337. I Go To Heaven, There Is My Home

1 I go to heaven, there is my home,
There is no sin and no sorrow,
There is the city that shall become
My blest abode of to-morrow.

2 There is the joy I on earth have missed,
There is the hope that was fleeting,
And there my Lord and my Savior blest
The host of pilgrims is greeting.

3 I hasten on to my home on high,
With joy and gladness proceeding,
Although from weakness I oft must sigh
When wounded severely are bleeding.

4 I go to heaven, there is my home,
There is no sorrow, nor weeping,
There is the city where saints shall roam
And henceforth dwell in God's keeping.
