Anywhere Is Home

([EARTHLY WEALTH AND FAME MAY NEVER COME TO ME])
1.

Earthly wealth and fame
May never come to me,
And a palace fair,
Here mine may never be;
But let come what may,
If Christ for me doth care,
Anywhere is home,
If He is only there.
Anywhere is home,
Let come and go what may,
Anywhere I roam,
He keeps me all the way;
So for His dear sake,
My cross I'll meekly bear,
Anywhere is home,
If Christ, my Lord, is there.

2.

Oft I'm tossed about
And driven by the foe,
Sad within, without
Wherever I may go;
But I press along
Still looking up in pray'r,
For it's home, sweet home,
If Christ is only there.
Anywhere is home,
Let come and go what may,
Anywhere I roam,
He keeps me all the way;
So for His dear sake,
My cross I'll meekly bear,
Anywhere is home,
If Christ, my Lord, is there.

3.

I will labor on
till I am called away,
'Till the morn shall dawn
Of that eternal day;
Looking unto Him,
Who keeps me in His care,
Anywhere is home,
If Christ, my Lord is there.
Anywhere is home,
Let come and go what may,
Anywhere I roam,
He keeps me all the way;
So for His dear sake,
My cross I'll meekly bear,
Anywhere is home,
If Christ, my Lord, is there.
