221. I’m Going Home in the Good Old Way

1 I am going home in the good old way,
Where the rainbow gleams in the fountain’s spray;
And the harpers stand by the glassy sea,
With their golden harps and their songs of glee.

Refrain:
I’m going home in the good old way,
I’m going home in the good old way;
Oh, Homeland bright and fair,
My Homeland free from care,
I am going home in the good old way.

2 I am going home in the good old way,
I have served the world with its worthless pay;
For its hopes are vain and its gains are loss,
And I glory now in the blood-stained cross. [Refrain]

3 I am going home in the good old way,
By the Word of grace that abides for aye;
Tho’ I walk by faith, I am filled with light,
And my heart is free, and my garments white. [Refrain]

4 I am going home in the good old way,
To a crown of life, and a bright array;
To my Father’s house where the loved ones throng,
With their waving palms and a glad new song. [Refrain]
