The Two Homes

Author: Emily Carroll Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: I have two homes, two happy homes Lyrics: 1 I have two homes, two happy homes, By God, the Father given; One precious home is here on earth, My other home is Heav’n, My other home is Heav’n. 2 I think upon my earthly home, And sweet emotions rise, Yet still my spirit longs to reach My home above the skies, My home above the skies. 3 The glories of my home above, Nor pen, nor tongue may tell, For none save spirits sanctified In that bright land may dwell, In that bright land may dwell. 4 My Father! hear my earnest prayer, For those I dearly love; O take us all, when life is o’er, To our bright home above, To our bright home above. Used With Tune: WORCESTERSHIRE Text Sources: Sabbath Carols by Leonard Marshall, J. C. Proctor and Samuel Burnham (Boston: Lee & Shepard,1869)
