Nearing Home

There’s a land where sor­row

And sin are nev­er known;

’Tis the place where loved ones

Are wait­ing us to come;

Onward

ev­er on­ward

The jour­ney near­ly done;

If we fol­low Je­sus

He will lead us home.

We are near­ing home

We are near­ing home;

Soon we’ll cross the Jor­dan tide

And be in sight of home.

We are near­ing home

We are near­ing home

Soon we’ll en­ter Ca­naan land

And then be home.

Worn and wea­ry pil­grim

With tri­als ev­ery day

Does the path seem drea­ry

While toil­ing up the way?

Hear the Savi­or say­ing

Trust Me

I’ll be your guide;

I will bear your bur­dens

All your needs pro­vide.

Let not earth­ly trea­sures

Allure you from the way;

Linger not in plea­sure

Be faith­ful

watch and pray;

Loyal to your Mas­ter

The strife will soon be o’er;

Then we’ll all be ga­thered

On the shin­ing shore.
