1 I'm going home, I'm going home,
Away from earth's cold cheer,
I'm going home, I'm going home,
To Heaven's sunlight clear.

Chorus:
I'm going home, I'm going home,
Where many mansions be,
I'm going home, I'm going home,
To spend Eternity.

2 I'm going home, I'm going home,
Kind friends will greet me there,
I'm going home, I'm going home,
A Saviour's love to share. [Chorus]

3 I'm going home, I'm going home,
A wayward child I come,
O, guide me Saviour to Thy fold,
My blest eternal home. [Chorus]
