Almost Home

Chorus:
Lord, I'm almost home,
Lord, I'm almost home

To ring those chiming bells.

Your time is drawing near,

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.

Your time is drawing near,

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,

Nothing to do but to ring those chiming bells.

To ring those chiming bells.

Your time is drawing near,

To ring those chiming bells.
