436 The Homeland
[1]
The homeland! O the homeland!
The land of the freeborn!
There s no night in the homeland
But aye the fadeless morn;
I m sighing for the homeland
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the homeland
To which I m drawing near;
There is no pain in the homeland
To which I m drawing near.
The homeland! O the homeland!
The land of the freeborn!
There s no night in the homeland
But aye the fadeless morn;
I m sighing for the homeland
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the homeland
To which I m drawing near;
There is no pain in the homeland
To which I m drawing near.

My Lord is in the homeland
With angels bright and fair;
There s no sin in the homeland
And no temptation there;
The music of the homeland
Is ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the homeland
My eyes are filled with tears;
And when I think of the homeland
My eyes are filled with tears.
My Lord is in the homeland
With angels bright and fair;
There s no sin in the homeland
And no temptation there;
The music of the homeland
Is ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the homeland
My eyes are filled with tears;
And when I think of the homeland
My eyes are filled with tears.

The dwellers in the homeland
Are beckoning me to come
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invades their holy home;
O dear dear native country!
O rest and peace above!
Christ bring us all to the homeland
Of Thy redeeming love;
Christ bring us all to the homeland
Of Thy redeeming love.
