I am far frae my hame, an� I�m weary aftenwhiles,
For the langed for hame bringin�, an� my Father�s welcome smiles;
An� I�ll ne�er be fu� content, until mine een do see
The gowden gates o� Heav�n an� my ain countrie.
The earth is fleck�d wi� flowers, mony tinted, fresh an� gay
The birdies warble blithely, for my Faither made them sae:
But these sights an� these soun�s will as naething be to me,
When I hear the angels singin� in my ain countrie.
I�ve His gude word o� promise that some gladsome day, the King
To His ain royal palace his banished hame will bring;
Wi�een an� wi� hert rinnin� owre, we shall see
The King in His beauty, in oor ain countrie.
The earth is fleck�d wi� flowers, mony tinted, fresh an� gay
The birdies warble blithely, for my Faither made them sae:
But these sights an� these soun�s will as naething be to me,
When I hear the angels singin� in my ain countrie.
Sae little noo I ken, o� yon bless�d, bonnie place
I only ken it�s Hame, whaur we shall see His face,
It wad surely be eneuch for ever mair to be
In the glory o� His presence, in oor ain countrie.
The earth is fleck�d wi� flowers, mony tinted, fresh an� gay
The birdies warble blithely, for my Faither made them sae:
But these sights an� these soun�s will as naething be to me,
When I hear the angels singin� in my ain countrie.
He is faithfu� that hath promised, an He�ll surely come again,
He�ll keep His tryst wi� me, at what oor I dinnna ken;
But He bids me still to wait, an� ready aye to be,
To gang at ony moment to my ain countrie.
The earth is fleck�d wi� flowers, mony tinted, fresh an� gay
The birdies warble blithely, for my Faither made them sae:
But these sights an� these soun�s will as naething be to me,
When I hear the angels singin� in my ain countrie.
