MY HEAVENLY HOME
The destination of my God
Is not within this sin laid sod; But where the bells of Heaven toll, Ill soar whenever my Savior calls!
Far beyond the starry sky Where no sorrow ever lays or tarries; When t* its magnificence F am drawn, Ill stand with my Savior in glary! With smiling face Hell bid me come,
And lead me to a mansion fair: O day of rejoicing! When I reach home; What joy! What bedazzlement beyond compare!
The destinaion of my Soul Is not on this sin filled sod; But I must give high glory to God! He has called his beloved child home!
