Words:
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
I want to go to heav’n, I do,
I want to see His face,
I want to hear Him sweetly say,
Come dwell with me at home.
Chorus:
I’m going home to be with Him,
To live through endless days,
And there with saints and angels join,
In hymns of joyful praise.
I want to work each day I live,
And do my Master’s will,
A life of faithful service give,
My mission to fulfill.
(Chorus)
I want to see His face,
I want to hear Him sweetly say,
Come dwell with me at home.
Chorus:
I’m going home to be with Him,
To live through endless days,
And there with saints and angels join,
In hymns of joyful praise.
I want to work each day I live,
And do my Master’s will,
A life of faithful service give,
My mission to fulfill.
(Chorus)
