While trav’ling through the world below,
Where sore afflictions come,
My soul abounds with joy to know
That I will rest at home.

Chorus:

I’ll bid farewell to all below,
And to my Savior go.

My soul’s delight has been to sing
Of glor’ous days to come,
When I shall, with my God and King,
Forever rest at home.

(Chorus)
