When We Get to That Home

When we get home above

In the sweet land of love

Where our Re­deem­er’s praise

Ever we’ll sing

What a de­light ’twill be

When we His face shall see!

All of our tro­phies fair un­to Him bring.

We shall for­get each care

Safe in His pre­sence there

And we’ll adore our won­der­ful king.

When we all get to our home

Oh! how sweet it then will be

Just to walk the gold­en streets

Happy thro’ eter­ni­ty!

When we get home some day

Free from this house of clay

All of our loved ones there glad­ly we’ll meet

Never to say good bye

Never to sin or die;

Surely your joy will be ev­er com­plete.

In that bright realm of bliss

Never a dear one miss

Happy to sit at Je­sus’ pierced feet.

When we get home up there

Heavenly bless­ings share

What a sweet thought ’twill be

Never to part!

Now

my dear friends

come on

Facing the glo­ri­ous dawn;

You should no more de­lay

Making the start

For you must sure­ly know

Swiftly the mo­ments go

Soon will the night o’er­sha­dow each heart.
