1 There is a happy home some­where
In which we’ll meet some day;
Unfading dia­dems to wear
Where trea­sures ne’er de­cay.

Refrain:
Sweet home, sweet home, I long to dwell
Amid thy scenes di­vine,
And of my Sav­ior’s grace to tell
While end­less joy is mine.

2 At home, some­where, I long to be
Where all is peace and love;
My Savior’s bless­èd face to see
In that sweet home ab­ove. [Refrain]

3 Somewhere be­yond all earth­ly strife
There is a place of rest;
No con­flict mars the bliss­ful life
Where sin can ne’er mo­lest. [Refrain]

4 Somewhere we’ll sing re­demp­tion’s song
Of glo­ry to the Lamb;
United with the blood-washed throng
Who chant that heav’n­ly psalm. [Refrain]
