The Foghorn Stringband Longing For a Home Lyrics The Foghorn Stringband lyrics

(Verse)
I'm only a pilgrim and a stranger
In this unfriendly world I roam
Tell his who's called me from darkness
And promised a heavenly home
And this wonderful love I am telling
Wherever on earth I may be
I'm striving each day to be faithful
To the savior that suffered for me

(Chorus)
And I'm longing for home
Though the sun's going down
I long to go where
Sweet rest can be found
Lord, I'm just about through
With this old house of clay

I'm leaving this world
For glory someday

(Verse 2)
Soon labors on Earth will be ending
We'll be leaving this old world for ever
We'll leave the dark valley of shadow
For a land that is better, they say
In the Bible we read of a city
Who's builder is Jesus foretold
Someday this will tend to be falling
And this wonderful place shall be home

(Chorus)
