Representative Text

1 Through toil and sorrow, through pain and strife,
Through days of blessing and all through life,
His Word is faithful: where’er we roam
He will be with us till we get home.

Till we get home, till we get home,
He will be with us till we get home!

2 Though oft the journey seem dark and drear,
And rough the pathway we travel here,
Still He is leading where’er we roam,
His pow’r will keep us till we get home.

Till we get home, till we get home,
He will be with us till we get home!

3 He will not suffer us to be tried
More than we’re able, and will provide
A way more blessed for us who roam,—
His presence with us till we get home.

Till we get home, till we get home,
He will be with us till we get home!

4 All through the journey of life below,
His blessed Spirit He will bestow,
And wondrous glory is yet to come
After the struggle, when we get home.

When we get home, when we get home,
And wondrous glory when we get home!
