My Happy Home 346

Tune: Aldine Silliman Kieffer, 1880
Lyrics: Aldine Silliman Kieffer, 1880
Meter: Particular Meter: 10,9,11,9
I have a home above the starry skies,
Which my Saviour has gone to prepare;
It is free from sin and ev'ry earthly ill,
O I long, O I long to be there.

Chorus:

O my happy, happy home far away,
To reach Thee safe I daily pray,
That my Saviour's hand will lead me on
To my happy, happy home far away.

My Saviour dwells in yonder happy home,
And His presence and love make it fair,
He will walk with me along its golden streets,
O I long, O I long to be there.

(Chorus)

The holy saints, a countless, happy throng,
In that bright happy home have a share,
I will meet them there to talk of Jesus' love,
O I long, O I long to be there.

(Chorus)
