about

The Scots and the Irish are well known for their many songs of emigration. They speak longingly of the home they had to leave behind. Here's an emigration song with a twist. We have yet to see the home we're longing for, an emigration song for Christians.

lyrics

HOME

Chorus:
Home, home, home, home would I be
Home, home, home in that High Country
With my God, with my King, with their Spirit filling me
I would dwell there forever in that fair Country

Father kind, ever loving
Son of man who paid the price
And the Spirit, mighty Spirit
Three to shield me from the night

Mighty God, my Redeemer
With Your hand be lifting me
From this dark night of trials
From this world of stormy seas
Chorus

I am war-torn and weary
As I wander through the night
And I pray my God for courage
To continue with the fight

You began this work within me
Help me not to fail the test
And defend me in my battles
Till You bring me to my rest
Chorus

In the eye of the Father
In the eye of the Son
In the eye of the Spirit
In the Three who are One

I will bless the God whose power
Encircles land and sea
And I will dance, I will sing
round the table of the King
Chorus
