..........Homecoming..........

There'll come a time when this flesh shall decay,
     I'll walk the paths of men no more;
I'll be carried to my Lord far away,
     And meet Him on that lovely shore.

Nevermore will I face tribulation,
     No more will my eyes fill with tears;
In that land there'll be no more temptation:
     And Jesus will banish all fears.

I'll be joined with my loved ones forever,
     There we'll sit 'neath the Savior's throne;
Death will no more have power to sever
     When to Heaven at last I've flown.

I'll see Peter, James and John, even Paul,
     I'll speak with this world's greatest sages;
I'll dwell with the ones who answered His call:
     The sanctified of all ages.

So when comes the time for this flesh to die,
     Don't worry or shed bitter tears;
I'll meet you up in the sweet by and by,
     The sweet homecoming day now nears.
