Meaning:

Our stay on this earth is only for a little while.
My eternal home is in heaven,
My everlasting home, my everlasting home.

1.
The days of my sojourning here is a few handbreadths,
And its glory is but toil and trouble.
I will soon fly away to be with my Beloved,
Receive heavenly glory,
And rest there forever.

2.
Let us endure suffering outside the camp
And bear the rejection that Jesus endured.
We have no lasting city here;
We are only on a battlefield.
So let us not settle down here—
Let us fight the good fight
And continue our journey quickly.

3.
It is a city that shines like precious pearls,
The beautiful city of New Jerusalem.
Its streets are pure and clear like crystal,
And the city is made of pure gold.
Oh, its beauty is beyond anything
We could ever describe!

4.
We have left our homeland, our homes,
And even our loved ones behind.
We have journeyed through difficult trials
And endured many hardships.
How long we have longed to be together again!
Soon we will dwell together
In the glorious palace
That the Merciful One has prepared for us.
