The Gospel Awakening ‎#109

109. Going Home By and By

1. Christian, are you growing weary?
We are all going home by and by;
Does the way seem dark and dreary?
We are all going home by and by.

Chorus:
Going home by and by,
We are all going home by and by,
Going home by and by,
We are all going home by and by.

2. Do the woes of life oppress thee?
We are all going home by and by;
And its trials sore distress thee?
We are all going home by and by. [Chorus]

3. Journey on a little longer,
We are all going home by and by;
With a faith a little stronger,
We are all going home by and by. [Chorus]

4. See! the light is growing clearer!
We are all going home by and by;
And the heav'nly port is nearer;
We are all going home by and by. [Chorus]

5. Soon we'll rest with Christ forever;
We are all going home by and by;
In a land where sin comes never;
We are all going home by and by. [Chorus]
