I'm Seeking a Home

R. M. Burt • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 13:14

Verse 1

I’m seeking a home in the mansions above, Where I can abide with the Savior I love, And sing the sweet song all the glorified sing, While casting their crowns at the feet of their king.

Chorus

By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."

Verse 2

I’m seeking a home thro’ trials severe; But grace will sustain when trials appear; I’ll labor and pray and daily press on, E’er trusting the Lord, He’ll not leave me alone.

Chorus

By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."

Verse 3

I’m seeking a home in the mansions above, Conducted along by the heavenly Dove. What rapture is mine when I think of that bliss! What comfort I find in a pilot like this!

Chorus

By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."

Verse 4

I’m seeking a home where loved ones have gone, Who fought the good fight and the victory won; And when I’m released from sorrow and pain, All glory to God! I shall see them again!

Chorus

By faith I can see my Savior’s sweet smile, And hear His sweet voice, "Come higher, My child"; So faithful and true ’mid cares and distress, "Enter into My joy! partake of My rest."
