Crowning Day, No. 6 ‎#143

143. Going Home

1 Though jostled daily by the throng,
With joyful heart I move along,
And on my lips there is a song,
For I’m going, going home.

Refrain:
I’m going, going home,
I’m going, going home,
“There is gladness in my soul today,”
For I’m going, going home.

2 Though many leagues there still may be
Between my Father’s house and me,
From fear and doubt my heart is free,
For I’m going, going home. [Refrain]

3 I cannot say when care or woe
Or grief again may bend me low;
But naught will turn me back, I know,
For I’m going, going home. [Refrain]

4 Though many trials mine may be
Before the journey’s end I see;
A grand reward will come to me,
When I reach my heav’nly home. [Refrain]
