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 glorious days to come,
When I shall, with my God and King,
Forever rest at home.
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 glorious days to come,
When I shall, with my God and King,
Forever rest at home.
