Crowning Day No. 5 ‎#32

32. Safe With the Loved Ones at Home

1 Far, far beyond this vale of sorrow,
Is home, sweet home;
There weary hearts will meet tomorrow,
There parting never come.

Refrain:
Oh, I long to be with Jesus,
Never more to roam;
There shall my heart o’erflow with gladness,
Safe with the lov’d ones at home.

2 All hopes, but heav’n are disappointing,
Heartaches and pain;
There shall my soul be fill’d with gladness,
There meet the lov’d ones again. [Refrain]

3 All earthly scenes are ting’d with sadness,
All skies have clouds;
No hope, but fear its cups emitters,
The final robe the shroud. [Refrain]

4 But christian, cheer thee on thy journey,
The toil’s most done;
Heav’n’s bright eternal day’s before thee,
There waits for thee thy crown. [Refrain]

5 Turn, turn thee, sinner to thy Saviour,
By sorrow driven,
Lay down the burden thou art bearing,
Christ offers home and heaven. [Refrain]

6 And though the path be rough and lonely
He’ll lead thee on;
Though Satan often tempt and try thee
Never art thou alone. [Refrain]
