Carry Me Home

Lyrics

Sweet land of rest! For thee I sigh,
When will the moment come,
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell with Christ at home?

Chorus:

Carry me home, carry me to my home.

No tranquil joys on earth I know,
No peaceful shelt’ring dome;
This world’s a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.

(Chorus)

Weary of wand’ring round and round
This vale of sin and gloom,
I long to leave the unhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home.

(Chorus)
