I'm Going Home
Verse 1
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.
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
Its glitt'ring tow'rs the sun outshine,
That heav'nly mansion shall be mine.
Refrain
I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more;
To die no more; to die no more;
I'm going home to die no more.
I'm going home to die no more;
To die no more; to die no more;
I'm going home to die no more.
Verse 2
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.
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heav'nly mansion mine shall be.
Verse 3
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.
Which flames devour or waves o'erflow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heav'nly mansion near the throne.
This hymn became popular in Seventh-day Adventist worship for its clear eschatological hope.
