Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: A Pilgrim and a stranger here Lyrics: 1 A Pilgrim and a stranger here,
I seek a home to pilgrims dear,
Fair lands are here, and houses fair,
But fairer is my home up there.
Chorus:
I'm going home to that fair land,
To join a happy, sinless band;
I'll shout with joy while here I roam,
Vain world, adieu, I'm going home.
2 I leave this world of sin behind,
That better home in heav'n to find,
Fain would I reach that peaceful shore,
Where sin and strife disturb no more. [Chorus]
3 In that fair clime of endless day,
The Lord shall wipe all tears away;
To living founts, through verdant meads,
The Lamb his ransom'd followers leads. [Chorus]
4 The fruits and flowers of Paradise,
In rich abundance round them rise;
No death shall visit them again,
No sickness there, no touch of pain. [Chorus]
5 Farewell! vain world, I'm going home,
My Saviour smiles and bids me come;
No mourning there, no funeral gloom,
But health and youth forever bloom. [Chorus] Used With Tune: I'M GOING HOME
I'm going home to that fair land
