We Are Almost Home

Just ov­er the ocean is our home on high

Where we all will ga­ther and rest by and by;

We’ve a man­sion far above the vault­ed dome

We shall soon be ov­er

we are al­most home.

We are al­most home

we are al­most home;

Just a few more tri­als

just a few more tears;

Just a few more trou­bles

just a few more fears;

Then we’ll cast the an­chor

nev­er more to roam;

We will soon be ov­er

we are al­most home

We are al­most home.

Our house is all rea­dy in the pro­mised land;

It was built and mo­deled by the Lord’s own hand;

He will lead us ov­er when this life is o’er

Where be­neath its por­tals we will rest ev­er­more.

The road has been wea­ry

and the way been long

But our hearts are cheery with the Lord’s own song;

See

the lights are gleam­ing o’er the ocean foam

And our joy is beam­ing

we are al­most home.

Our dear ones are watch­ing as we near the shore

How we long to join them

to part nev­er more;

Thro’ the gold­en ci­ty with them we will roam;

Don’t you hear the sing­ing? We are al­most home.
