99a. The Glorious Prospect

1 Amid the hours that rapid fly,
Amid the flow’rs that soon must die,
Amid our tears while here we roam,
How sweet the thought we’re going home.

Chorus:
Going home, going home,
How sweet the thought we’re going home.

2 We’ll cling to Jesus in the hour
When sin and Satan use their power,
And murmur not when sorrows come,
For by and by we’re going home. [Chorus]

3 No dying groans shall there be heard,
And we shall speak no parting word;
O sinner, to the Saviour come,
And join the band that’s going home. [Chorus]
