The Convention Hymnal Score of Hymn 7: The Homeland by Rev. R. H. Haweis

1 The Homeland! O the Homeland!
    The land of souls free-born!
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.
 
2 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.
 
3 My loved ones in the Homeland
    Are waiting 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.
Rev. R. H. Haweis
