When will my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? Chorus: Home, sweet home, my long sought home, My home in heaven above. 2 Thy walls are all of precious stone, Most glorious to behold! Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are paved with gold. [Chorus] 3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant greens, My study long have been; Such sparkling light, by human sight, Has never yet been seen. [Chorus] 4 If heaven be thus glorious, Lord, Why should I stay from thence: What folly 'tis that I should dread To die and go from hence! [Chorus] 5 Reach down, reach down, thine arm of grace, And cause me to ascend Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths never end. [Chorus] 6 Jesus, my Lord, to glory's gone; Him will I go and see; And all my brethren, here below, Will soon come after me. [Chorus] 7 My friends, I bid you all adieu! I leave you in God's care; And if I never more see you, Go on,—I'll meet you there. [Chorus] 8 There we shall meet and no more part, And heaven shall ring with praise; While Jesus' love, in every heart, Shall tune the song free grace. [Chorus] 9 And if our fellowship below In Jesus be so sweet, What heights of rapture shall we know When round the throne we meet! [Chorus] 10 Millions of years around may run— Our songs shall still go on, To praise the Father and the Son, And Spirit, Three in One.[Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: LONG SOUGHT HOME
