Songs of Sovereign Grace ‎#169

169. There’s a Home

1 There’s a home for weary pilgrims,
They who long life’s thorns have pressed,
In the kingdom over yonder
They shall enter into rest.

Refrain:
There’s a home of joy and gladness,
There’s a place of peace and rest,
Where shall dwell the sainted pilgrim,
‘Mid the mansion of the blest.

2 All life’s weary battles over,
At the golden eventide,
They will turn their faces homeward,
Pass beyond the riverside. [Refrain]

3 What are all earth’s cares and crosses
When they gain the other shore,
Where there’s no more griefs and losses,
All is joy forevermore. [Refrain]
