    This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through, 
                                                        D 
    my treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue. 
                  G                                               C              G 
    Where many friends and kindred have gone on before,

      G                                    C                  G 
    Over in Glory Land there is no dying there. 
                                                                            D 
    the saints are shouting “Victory” and singing everywhere. 
        G                                      C                        G 
    I hear the voice of them that I have heard before, 
                                                       D             G

    Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you, 
                                                   D 
    if heaven's not my home, oh Lord, what would I do? 
      G                                 C                      G 
    Angel's beckon me to heaven's open door, 
                                                       D             G

    Heaven's expecting me, that's one thing I know, 
                                                    D 
    I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago. 
     G                                              C                         G 
    He will take me through though I am weak and poor,

    Oh, I have a loving mother over in Glory Land, 
                                          D 
    I don’t expect to stop until I shake her hand.

    Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you, 
                                                   D 
    if heaven's not my home, oh Lord, what would I do? 
      G                                 C                      G
