Walking along life’s road one day, I heard a voice so sweetly say, “A place up in heav’n I am building thee, A beautiful, beautiful home.”Refrain: Home, sweet home, home, sweet home– Where I’ll never roam! I see the light of that city so bright– My home, sweet home.2. Loved ones upon that shore I’ll meet, Casting their crowns at Jesus’ feet; I’ll worship and praise Him forevermore In beautiful, beautiful home.3. Life’s day is short– I soon shall go To be with Him who loved me so; I see in the distance that shining shore, My beautiful, beautiful home.
