Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
If we are faithful we shall gain
The land of promised rest;
Where with the savior we shall live
and be forever blest.
Chorus
Welcome home, sweet welcome home,
My home, sweet home,
Welcome home, sweet welcome home,
the Christian's welcome home.
