Representative Text

1 How sweet will be the welcome home,
When this short life is o’er;
When pain and sorrow, grief and care,
Shall trouble us no more.

Chorus:
Welcome home, sweet welcome home,
My home, sweet home,
Welcome home, sweet welcome home,
The Christian's welcome home.

2 When we the lovely promised land
With spirit eyes shall see;
We'll join the holy angel band,
In praise, dear Lord, to Thee. [Chorus]

3 If we are faithful we shall gain,
The land of promised rest;
We'll join the holy angel band,
In praise, dear Lord, to Thee. [Chorus]
