The holy hills of Heaven call me

To mansions bright across the sea

Where loved ones wait and crowns are given

Oh the hills of home are calling me 


This house of clay is but a prison

Bars of bone hold my soul

But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open

When the angel sets my spirit free

I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle

Oh the hills of home are calling me 


I see loved ones over yonder

Tears are gone and hearts are free

And from the throne of my Savior beckons

And the hills of home are calling me 


This house of clay is but a prison

Bars of bone hold my soul

But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open

When the angel sets my spirit free

Then I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle

Oh the hills of home are calling me

Calling me
