我家乃在天/ Heaven Is My Home

這是兩首喪禮歌 
失去親人，悲傷之情，自然流露，而且難以控制的住。

上週日 我參加了教會裡一場喪禮

當會眾齊聲唱詩時，我忍不住悲慟 暗自啜泣

因為憶起經過同樣的情節，坐在親人席裡唱詩...

英文版詩歌及歌詞

1 

I'm but a stranger here,

Heaven is my home;

Earth is a desert drear;

Heaven is my home:

Danger and sorrow stand

Round me on every hand;

Heaven is my fatherland,

Heaven is my home.

2 

What though the tempest rage,

Heaven is my home;

Short is my pilgrimage,

Heaven is my home:

And time's wild wintry blast

Soon shall be overpast;

I shall reach home at last,

Heaven is my home.

3 

There at my Saviour's side,

Heaven is my home;

I shall be glorified,

Heaven is my home.

There are the good and blest,

Those I love most and best;

And there I too shall rest,

Heaven is my home.

4 

Therefore I murmur not,

Heaven is my home;

Whate'er my earthly lot,

Heaven is my home:

And I shall surely stand

There at my Lord's right hand:

Heaven is my fatherland,

Heaven is my home.

英文版詩歌及歌詞

1

Once a lost soul was I. Caught in earthly toil and cares. Felt such joy.

in this world, Slave to sin's dread sway; Then the Lord jesus came,

Freed me with His loving grace. Promised me. He ould lead.

2.

Jesus Christ rescued me. In His mercy  I am blessed. Sent His Spirit

to Earth . Comfort-er and guide, In His world I'm make whole.

On His promise I will stand. He'll guide me to my home.

3.

Once a lost soul was I. On the path-way rough and steep. But thro' God's

mighty  hand, He  showed me the way; Look not back. onward  strive.

Ever working in His strength. 'Til we reach safe at last.
