The Christian's Home.

By S. H. Kinsey

TUNE—Home Again.
Going home, going home, To a better land; Where free from sin and toil and pain, We'll join the immortal band. Released from every snare and fear Which here our path surround, We there shall live a life of joy, On Salem's happy ground.
CHORUS—Going home, going home To a better land, Where free from sin and toil and pain, We'll join the immortal band.
Going home, going home, Where we'll die no more; O let it fill our hearts with joy, To think were almost home. Then let our steps be guarded well Until we reach that shore, Where we can with our loved one dwell, In union evermore.
CHORUS—Going home, &c.
Troubles here, troubles here, Wait on every side; And trials too which seem severe As foes at us deride. Here we drop the parting tear, As wanderers we roam, Until our blessed Lord shall come To take his children home.
CHORUS—Going home, &c.
Almost home, almost home, Oh that blessed thought! It lifts the saint from earth and gloom, And cheers his drooping heart. Then on we'll go, though clouds arise, And tempests gather o'er, We have a home in Paradise, Where troubles are no more.
CHORUS—Going home, &c. S. H. KINSEY. Pilot Grove, Iowa.
