A TRIBUTE
HomeAtLast
Around Gods Heaven, no doubt shes singing, With a stronger hand, the bells are a-ringing,
News ofwondrous happiness bringing, Mary, Youre Home At Last]
On the crystal walls, a Golden Sunshines beaming, Angels arrayed in magnificent splendor a-gleaming;
Love, like a river ofjoy is a-streaming, Mary, Youre Home At Last!
Never did you refuse to lend a helping hand; No matter what the plight, you d always take a stand,
Neer did you tire while upon this strand. Mary, Youre Home At Last!
And though today our hearts are saddened, CHRIST, Himself, for certain is gladdened You, around, His throne, in your robe have been claddened
MARY, YOURE HOME AT LAST!
