69. We're going home to die no more

1 We go the way that leads to God,
The way that saints have ever trod;
So let us leave this sinful shore,
For realms where we shall die no more.

Chorus:
We're going home, we're going home,
We're going home to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more,
We're going home to die no more.

2 The ways of God are ways of bliss,
And all his paths are happiness,
Then, weary souls, your sighs give o'er,
We're going home to die no more. [Chorus]

3 There is a land beyond the sky,
Where happy spirits never sigh;
Then, erring soul, your sins deplore,
And sing of where we'll die more. [Chorus]

4 Come, sinners, come along,
And join our happy pilgrim throng;
Farewell, vain world, and all your store,
We're going home to die no more. [Chorus]
