To Die No More 111b

Tune: Eld. Edmund Dumas, 1856
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: William Hunter, 1838
Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)
My heav’nly home is bright and fair;
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
Its glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine;
That heav’nly mansion shall be mine.

Chorus

I’m going home to Christ above,
I’m going home to the Christian’s rest,
I’m going home, to die no more,
I’m going home to die no more.

My Father’s house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heav’nly mansion mine shall be.

(Chorus)

Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour, or waves o’erflow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heav’nly mansion near the throne.

(Chorus)
