The land of the freeborn!
There's no night in the Homeland,
But aye the fadeless morn;
I'm sighing for the Homeland,
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the Homeland
To which I'm drawing near;
There is no pain in the Homeland
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the Homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
There's no sin in the Homeland,
And no temptation there;
The music of the Homeland,
Is ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the Homeland
My eyes are filled with tears;
And when I think of the Homeland
My eyes are filled with tears.
3 My loved ones in the Homeland
Are waiting me to come,
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invades their holy home;
O dear, dear native Country!
O rest and peace above!
Christ bring us all to the Homeland
Of Thy redeeming love;
Christ bring us all to the Homeland
Of Thy redeeming love! Topics: Funeral-Burial; Heaven Used With Tune: [The Homeland! O the Homeland!]
The Homeland!
