I'll Reach My Home

Representative Text

1 My moving day will roll around,
I'll ready be, I'm homeward bound,
I'll move some day for my last time,
To my sweet home in yonder clime.

Refrain:
I'll reach my home in yonder clime,
Some day I'll reach that home of mine;
Farewell dear friend, it won't be long,
Don't grieve for me When I am gone.

2 Some morning when this life is o'er,
I'll stand upon the golden shore,
I there shall live and move no more,
I'll meet you there on heaven's shore. [refrain]

3 Farewell dear friend I'll move along,
Who'll sing for me when I am gone?
I'll cross the sea so deep and wide,
The Lord will walk close by my side. [refrain]
