Refrain:
Yes, I feel like traveling on,
I feel like traveling on;
My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
I feel like traveling on.

2 Its glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshines,
I feel like traveling on.
That heav’nly mansion shall be mine,
I feel like traveling on. [Refrain]

3 Let others seek a home below,
I feel like traveling on.
Which flames devour, or waves o’erflow,
I feel like traveling on. [Refrain]

Hymn/Song Information

My heavenly home is bright and fair,
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
Its glittering towers the sun outshine,
That heavenly mansion shall be mine.
I�m going home, I�m going home,
I�m going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I�m going home to die no more.
My Father�s home is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be.
I�m going home, I�m going home,
I�m going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I�m going home to die no more.

Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour, or waves o�erflow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heavenly mansion near the throne.
I�m going home, I�m going home,
I�m going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I�m going home to die no more.
Then fail this earth, let stars decline.
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
All nature sink and cease to be,
That heavenly mansion stands for me.
I�m going home, I�m going home,
I�m going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I�m going home to die no more.
---Alternative verses---
My Father�s house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be.
I�m going home, I�m going home,
I�m going home to die no more,
To die no more, to die no more,
I�m going home to die no more.
