LyicsSEE, Christians, see how the time steals on!
Soon will sink life's setting sun:
Like the gleams of closing day,
Fade thy fleeting hours away.
Then, up, let us toil, till our toilings are o'er
Till we shall be borne to eternity's shore;
Our final summons have come,
How sweet the Christian's welcome home!
Home, home, home, the Christian's welcome home.
Sweet, O sweet, the Christian's welcome home!
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home!
See how the shades of death come nigh,
Joyful shades when Christians die;
They mark, the path the Saviour trod;
Dying saints to waft to God.
Then, up, fellow christian, let mourning be o'er;
Rejoice in thy Saviour, rejoice evermore;
Our angel convoy have come,
How sweet the Christian's welcome home!
Home, home, home, the Christian's welcome home.
Sweet, O sweet, the Christian's welcome home!
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home!
