Mansion Over The Hilltop
(Words & music by Ira Stamphill)

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I’m heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

I Call It Home
Squire Parson Jr

Verse 1
Somewhere beyond the grave there is a land
Where Jesus went to prepare by his hand
And for the saved by graced there is a resting place
And then a few more days it will be mind

Chorus
Some call it heaven, I call it home
Some call it dreaming, let me dream on
Some call it paradise, somwhere beyond the shopps
Some call it heaven, I call it home

Verse 2
Someone siad you can't go back home again
And things will noet ever be as good as they've been
I've got good news for you when Heaven comes into view
One glimpse and you'll know the best is yet to come

This ole' House
by Stuart Hamlin

Chorus:
I ain't gonn need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floors
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
or to band the window panes
ain't gonna have this house no longer
I'm gettin' ready to meet the Saint.

Verse 1
This ole' house once knew my children
this ole' house once knew my wife
this ole' house was home and comfort
as we fought the storms of life
this ole' house once rang with laughter
this ole' house heard many shout
now she trembles in the darkness
when the night wind blows about.

Verse 2
This ole' house is gettin' shaky
this ole' house is gettin' old
this ole' house lets in the rain
this ole' house lets in the cold
Oh my knees are gettin' chilly
but I feel no fear of pain
Cause I see an angel peakin'
through a broken window pane.
(chorus)

Verse 3
This ole' dog lies a sleepin'
he don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
He'd just sit there and howl and grieve
But my hunting days are over
Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in the chariot
when the wind blew down the door.
(chorus_

Dreaming
Fannie R Buchanan 1927 Rena M Pariah 1927

My home must have a high tree
above its open gate.
My home must have a garden
Where little dreamers wait
My home must have a wide view
Of fields and meadows fair.
Of distant hills, of open skies
With sunlight everywhere.

My home must have a friendship
with every happy thing.
My home must offer comfort
for angry sorrowing.
And every heart that enters
shall hear its music ring.
And find some simple beauty
that every live may share.

My home must have its mother
may she grew sweet and wise.
My home must have its father
with honor in his eyes.
My home must have it's children
God grant the parents grace.
To keep the home through all the years
A kindly happy place
(Hymns of Rural Spirit)

My Home Is Where the Heart Is
H.L. Haldor Lillenas

Chorus
I'm daily growing fonder
Of that bright land so fair
My home is where my heart is
My home is over there.

My home is where the heart is
My heart is over there
In that delightful country
That land beyond compare.
(chorus)

My home is where the heart is
Beyond the highest star
The land of immortals
Where all my treasures are.
(chorus)

My home is where the heart is
Where Jesus reigns supreme
And dear ones wait to greet me
Beyond death's silent stream.
(chorus)

The home is where the heart is
My heart is over there
Where I shall dwell forever
And all it's glory share.

My Heavenly Home
Thoro Harris Liluokalani

Chorus
My heavenly home, my glorious home
To Thee with fervent hope my heart is turning
Dear land of peace, where raging tempest cease
My fair eternal home.

Beyond the pale of earthly blight
There lies a country fair and bright,
Where never fall the shades of night
O'er there, in saints eternal home.
(chorus)

There on that bright and shining shore
We'll meet the friends we loved of yore.
And dwell with them forevermore
O'er ther in the saints eternal home.
(chorus)

'Twill not be long I linger here
For Christ will very soon appear,
E'en now his coming draweth near
He will take me to my eternal home.
(chorus)

Home on the Range

Chorus
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
(chorus)

Oh give me a land where the bright diamond sand
Flow leisurely down the stream
Where the great white swan goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
(chorus)

Then I would not exchange my home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
(chorus)
