This world is not my home

I'm just a passing through

My treasures are laid up

Somewhere beyond the blue

The angels beckon me

From heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

I have a loving mother

Just up in gloryland

And I don't expect to stop

Until I shake her hand

She's waiting now for me

By heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

Oh lord you know

I have no friend like you

If heaven's not my home

Then lord what will I do

The angels beckon me

From heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

There always expect me

And I won't think I know

I shall party me

Now would I must go

I know you take me through

Know I weak hope

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

Just up in gloryland

We'll live enterly

The saints on every hand

Are shouting victory

Their songs of sweetest praise

Drift back from heaven's shore

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

Oh lord you know

I have no friend like you

If heaven's not my home

Then lord what will I do

The angels beckon me

From heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home

In this world anymore

And I don't feel at home

In this world anymore
