Verse 1
Earthly wealth and fame (Earthly wealth and honored fame) May never come to me, And a palace fair, (And an earthly palace fair,) Here mine may never be; But let come what may, (But let come, let come what may,) If Christ for me doth care, Anywhere is home, (Anywhere is home, sweet home,) If He is only there. (only there.)
Verse 2
Oft I'm tossed about (Oft I'm tossed, am tossed about) And driven by the foe, Sad within, without, (Sad within and sad without,) Wherever I may go; But I press along (So I press, I press along,) Still looking up in pray'r, For it's home, sweet home, (O I know 'tis home, sweet home,) If Christ is only there. (only there.)
Verse 3
I will labor on (I will labor, labor on,) Till I am called away, Till the morn shall dawn, (Till the morn at last shall dawn,) Of that eternal day; Looking unto Him, (Ever looking unto Christ) Who keeps me in His care, Anywhere is home, (Anywhere is home, sweet home) If Christ, my Lord, is there. (only there.)
Chorus
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.
