Im Going Home
Pm going Home! Im going Home! No more over barren wastes to roam; And if the way seems long Ive trod, V m going Home to Heaven and God,
What if the way was often rough. Vm going Home - - that is enough! How sweet the welcome that awaits My entry at Heavens pearly gates.
What hallowed bliss within its walls I What peaceful rest within its halls! No sense ofsin, no sound ofstrife,
Just radiant, joyful, endless life.
