How sweet will be our rest

1 How sweet will be our rest at home,
When this short life is o'er,
When sorrow, pain and care and grief,
Shall dwell with us no more.

Chorus:
Our own dear home,
Our heavenly home,
Our own dear happy home,
Our own dear happy home.

2 Lord, bring me to that heavenly home,
Where I thy face shall see,
And join the holy angel band,
In praise, dear Lord, to thee. [Chorus]

3 Where I shall sweep the golden lyre,
And join the happy throng,
To praise the grace of Christ my Lord,
In holier, sweeter song. [Chorus]
