6. Almost Home

Chorus:
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

1 Come along, my sister, come along,
Your time is drawing near,
The angels say there's
Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

2 Come along, my brother, come along,
Your time is drawing near,
The angels say there's
Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

3 Come along, poor sinner, come along,
Your time is drawing near,
The angels say there's
Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

4 Come along, poor mourner, come along,
Your time is drawing near,
The angels say there's
Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

5 Come along, backsliders, come along,
Your time is drawing near,
The angels say there's
Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

6 Come along, false pretenders, come along,
Your time is drawing near,
The angels say there's
Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home,
To ring those chiming bells.

7 Come along, true believers, come along,
Your time is drawing near,

To ring those chiming bells.
