Going Home

By Nellie M. Butler

By Nellie M. Butler
GOING home, going home to that bright land forever, Never-more to travel upon earth's weary way; Free from pain and sorrow and sin and sickness ever, In the glad light to dwell, of God's eternal day.
Going home, going home, with parted friends and loved ones. O, the joy of being with them, never-more to roam! All clad in robes of beauty and shining as the suns, What happiness to see them in that blessed home!
Going home, going home, with hosts of shining angels, Through the starry regions and blazing suns on high, Singing of redemption, the song of earth and heaven, The song of future ages, which will never die.
Going home, going home, to be with Jesus ever Where He's King of Kings. He'll wipe away our tears. O, the joy of knowing that there is naught can sever Us from our dear Saviour throughout eternal years!
Going home, going home! That happy time is nearing. How it does inspire us to always faithful be! No words are so comforting, no words are so cheering, To think of going home to spend eternity! Burlington, Iowa.
