Representative Text

1 We go the way that leads to God,
The way that saints have ever trod;
So let us leave this fleeting shore,
For realms where we shall die no more.

Refrain:
We're going home, we're going home,
We're going home, to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more,
We're going home to die no more.

2 The ways of God are ways of peace,
And all his paths are pleasantness;
Then weary souls, your sighs give o'er,
We're going home to die no more. [Refrain]

3 Come, sinners, come, oh, come along,
And join our happy pilgrim throng;
Farewell, vain world, and all thy store,
We're going home to die no more. [Refrain]
