16190. When We Get To That Home

1 When we get home above,
In the sweet land of love,
Where our Re­deem­er’s praise
Ever we’ll sing,
What a de­light ’twill be
When we His face shall see!
All of our tro­phies fair un­to Him bring.
We shall for­get each care,
Safe in His pre­sence there,
And we’ll adore our won­der­ful king.

Refrain:
When we all get to our home,
Oh! how sweet it then will be,
Just to walk the gold­en streets,
Happy thro’ eter­ni­ty!

2 When we get home some day,
Free from this house of clay,
All of our loved ones there glad­ly we’ll meet,
Never to say good bye,
Never to sin or die;
Surely your joy will be ev­er com­plete.
In that bright realm of bliss,
Never a dear one miss,
Happy to sit at Je­sus’ pierced feet. [Refrain]

3 When we get home up there,
Heavenly bless­ings share,
What a sweet thought ’twill be
Never to part!
Now, my dear friends, come on,
Facing the glo­ri­ous dawn;
You should no more de­lay
Making the start,
For you must sure­ly know
Swiftly the mo­ments go,
Soon will the night o’er­sha­dow each heart. [Refrain]
