Verse 1

This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through,
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Chorus

Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;
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.

Verse 2

I have a loving mother, just over in Gloryland;
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand;
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door,
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Chorus

Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;
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.

Verse 3

Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally,
The saints on ev'ry hand are shouting victory.
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore,
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Chorus

Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;
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.
