1 ‘Tis but a little longer to travel down life’s road,
‘Tis but a little longer to bear the heavy load,
For when life’s sun is sinking in yonder golden west,
On snowy wings of angels I’ll go home.
Refrain:
Yes, soon I’ll hear the angels coming,
Singing as they come,
Then, on their snowy pinions I’ll go home,
I’ll go home, I’ll go home;
On snowy wings of angels I’ll go home.
2 I’ve borne my share of burdens thro’ life these many years,
I’ve had my share of trouble, of sorrow and of tears,
But when my Saviour calls me to lay life’s burden by,
On snowy wings of angels I’ll go home. [Refrain]
3 I’ve tried to stand for Jesus where thickest was the fight,
I’ve tried to do my duty in paths of truth and right,
But when my time of resting shall come at close of day,
On snowy wings of angels I’ll go home. [Refrain]
