205. A Welcome Home

1 When my day is ended and my work is done,
When the shadows lengthen at the set of sun;
When life’s race is over and my course is run,
I shall have a glad welcome home.

Refrain:
A welcome home, a welcome home,
I shall have a glad welcome home;
When time is but a story in that land of wondrous glory
I shall have a glad welcome home.

2 When the fight is ended and the battle o’er,
With the ransomed army who has gone before,
I shall stand rejoicing on that golden shore,
I shall have a glad welcome home. [Refrain]

3 When the strain and struggle of this life shall cease,
From the heavy burdens I shall find release;
All dischords are blended in a psalm of peace,
I shall have a glad welcome home. [Refrain]

4 When the faithful reapers from the fields so wide,
And the million martyrs who for Jesus died,
Stand in blood-washed garments at the Savior’s side,
There will be a glad welcome home. [Refrain]
