Who will send the news to the gates of glory?
Loved ones are coming home tonight;
Who will bid the angels repeat the story,
Loved ones are coming home tonight?

Chorus:
Who’ll send the news? Oh, who’ll send the news?
Up to the realms of light?
Who will be the next one to send the tidings,
Loved ones are coming home tonight.

Angels linger near waiting your decision,
Loved ones are coming home tonight;
Swift they’ll bear the news to the courts elysian,
Loved ones are coming home tonight.

Friends who’ve gone before will with joy be singing,
Loved ones are coming home tonight;
All the heav’nly dome with the news be ringing,
Loved ones are coming home tonight.

Tender hearts are longing for your returning—
Loved ones are coming home tonight;
For the blessed tidings our souls are yearning,
Loved ones are coming home tonight.
