| 1. We are bound for
the mansions of glory,
In that beautiful city of gold,
Where, beholding
the face of our Savior,
It will fill us with rapture untold.
Refrain.
When we get home
we’ll shout and sing
The praises of our
Redeemer and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring
With the songs of home, sweet home.
2. ’Tis the kingdom we have
now within us,
It is peace, it is comfort and joy,
And a hope in our blessed Redeemer,
Which the tempter can never destroy.
Refrain.
When we get home
we’ll shout and sing
The praises of our
Redeemer and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring
With the songs of home, sweet home.
3. The Redeemer has wonderful power,
He is leading us on every day,
And if gladly we follow each moment,
He will keep us from wand’ring away.
Refrain.
When we get home
we’ll shout and sing
The praises of our
Redeemer and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring
With the songs of home, sweet home.
4. We are dead to the world
and its pleasure,
Our affections are centered above,
Where we own such
a wonderful treasure,
’Tis a home in the city of love.
Refrain.
When we get home
we’ll shout and sing
The praises of our
Redeemer and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring
With the songs of home, sweet home.
