I’m Going Home

Author: Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: The Old Story in Song #130 (1906) First Line: I’m going home to Jesus, I’m near the river’s side Refrain First Line: I’m going home, I’m going home Lyrics: 1 I’m going home to Jesus, I’m near the river’s side; A little while to tarry and then I’ll cross the tide To dwell with Him forever where all the saved abide, All praise to my Redeemer, I’m going home. Refrain: I’m going home, I’m going home, To wear a robe in glory, I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going home, All praise to my Redeemer, I’m going home. 2 I’m going home to Jesus, the precious Son of God, Who, for a world’s transgressions alone the winepress trod, Who, on the cross of anguish so freely spilled His blood, All praise to my Redeemer, I’m going home. [Refrain] 3 I’m going home to Jesus, of all my joys the Spring, With joyful hallelujahs the courts of bliss shall ring, When in His wondrous beauty I see my Lord and King. All praise to my Redeemer, I’m going home. [Refrain] 4 I’m going home to Jesus with burdens all laid down, And in that home of beauty, that land of high renown, The mighty King of Glory His ransomed child shall crown, All praise to my Redeemer, I’m going home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I’m going home to Jesus, I’m near the river’s side]
