Come, all my dear brethren, and help me to sing,
I’m going to Jesus, He’s heaven’s great King.
He died to atone for the sins of the world;
His banner is flying, His sails are unfurled.
Chorus:
Heav’n’s my home,
I’m going to Jesus, for heav’n’s my home.
While here in the valley of conflict I stay,
Oh give me submission, and strength as my day,
In all my afflictions to Thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.
(Chorus)
I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine,
No more as an exile in sorrow to pine;
And in Thy dear image arise from the tomb,
With glorified millions to praise Thee at home.
(Chorus)

With glorified millions to praise Thee at home.
