This world is not my home, I’m just passing through

If heaven’s not my home, then Lord what will I do

The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door

And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

After the toil and the heat of the day, after my troubles are past,

After the sorrows are taken away, I shall see Jesus at last.

He will be waiting for me – Jesus so kind and true;

On His beautiful throne, He will welcome me home-

After the day is through.
