Words & Music: , in The Gos­pel in Song, by Mil­ton S. Rees et al. (Phil­a­del­phia, Penn­syl­van­ia: The Fair­bu­ry Pub­lish­ing Com­pa­ny, 1908), num­ber 72.


I have come thro’ sorrow’s valley, and thro’ sin’s darkest night;
I am standing on the hilltop looking home;
And my soul is full of glory, for I’m living in the light,
I am standing on the hilltop looking home.

Refrain

I am standing on the hilltop looking home;
And I catch a glimpse of minaret and dome;
Hearing sweet celestial strains,
Where my Lord in glory reigns,
I am standing on the hilltop looking home.

My dear Savior has gone over to prepare me a place;
I am standing on the hilltop looking home;
In the glory of His presence, with my loved ones saved by grace,
I am standing on the hilltop looking home.

Refrain

I will lift mine eyes in gladness, to behold Heaven’s land;
I am standing on the hilltop looking home;
And my faith becomes triumphant, for the vision is so grand;
I am standing on the hilltop looking home.

Refrain

O my brother from the wilderness, look up and behold;
I am standing on the hilltop looking home;
Now a mansion bright, a great white throne, and streets of shining gold,
I am standing on the hilltop looking home.

Refrain
