Soon all earthly strife will vanish,
Soon I�ll reach the heav�nly strand;
Oh, what joy will sorrow banish
When before my Lord I stand.

Refrain

Soon in the homeland, soon in the homeland,
Free from sorrow, pain and care,
Soon in the homeland, soon in the homeland,
I�m with Jesus there.

Oh, to think of seeing Jesus
Whom thro� faith I know and love,
And to God lift up my praises
To the tune of harps above.

Refrain

From all ends of earth they�ll gather
In the bless�d homeland fair;
Loved ones then shall meet each other
And no parting will be there.

Refrain

Oh, to think of ever dwelling
With my Lord, Whose blood was shed,
With the heav�nly music swelling
As the wedding feast is spread.

Refrain
