Love, rest, and home,
Sweet, sweet home;
Blessed Jesus, tarry not,
But come and take me to my Home.

I shall be soon.
Beyond the shining and the shading,
Beyond the hoping and the dreading,
I shall be soon. [Refrain]

I shall be soon;
Beyond the calming and the fretting,
Beyond remembering and forgetting,
I shall be soon. [Refrain]

I shall be soon;
Beyond the farewell and the greeting,
Beyond the pulse’s fever beating,
I shall be soon. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Beyond the smiling and the weeping]
