Lyics

We're going home,

No more to roam,

No more to sin and sor-row;

No more to wear

The brow of care-

We're going home to-mor-row,



CHO.- We're go-ing home,

We're going home to-morrow;

We're go-ing home,

We're going home to-morrow.



For weary feet,

There waits a street

Of wondrous pave and golden;

For hearts that ache,

The angels wake

The story sweet and olden.-CHO.



For those who sleep,

And those who weep,

Above the portals narrow,

The mansions rise

Beyond the skies-

We're going home to-morrow.-CHO.



O joyful song!

O ransomed throng,

Where sin no more shall sever!

Our King to see,

And, O to be

With him at home forever!-CHO.
