My Home (Lisbon) 51
Tune: Arranged by C. F. Letson, 1869
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: Samuel Stennett, 1787
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Chorus:
Don’t you feel like going home;
My home it is in the promised land,
And I feel like going home.
Yes, I feel like going home;
My home it is in the promised land,
And I feel like going home.
O the transporting rapt’rous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
(Chorus)
