When We Get Home

Author: M. A. Hood Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Far beyond the strife of this earthly life Lyrics: 1 Far beyond the strife of this earthly life, There’s a home prepared for us above; And some blessèd day we’ll go there to stay, Evermore to sing of Jesus’ love. Refrain: When we get home, No more we’ll wander, no more roam, But peace complete and rapture sweet We’ll share when we get home. 2 In that home so sweet with its joys complete, We shall find the rest for which we sigh; Sing redemption’s song with the blood washed throng, When we reach that city by and by. [Refrain] 3 Just inside the gate, where our loved ones wait, Jesus our dear Savior we shall see; Look upon His face, praise Him for His grace, O how sweet ’twill be to you and me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Far beyond the strife of this earthly life] Text Sources: The Gospel Way by Anthony J. Showalter et al. (Dalton, GA: A. J. Showalter, 1923)
