Try locating the element using XPath instead of ID, then using either

driver.findElement(By.xpath(“xpath for your lbl“)).getText()

or

String st = driver.findElement(By.xpath(“xpath to your lbl“)).getAttribute(“value”);

You have to use the webElement.getText() for that.

I worte a small unit test for you:

public class TestGetText
{
    @Test
    public void shouldReadSomevalue()
    {
        final WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
        webDriver.get("http://s2server.de/stackoverflow/11719445.html");

        final WebElement webElement = webDriver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
        final String text = webElement.getText();

        assertEquals("some value", text);
    }
}

Try below solution - 

String test = driver.findElement(By.id("lbHome")).getText();
System.out.println(test);
