Tho’ the pathway lies thro’ darkness and the grave;
My sins are all forgiven, forgiven, forgiven,
For his precious sake who died my soul to save.

Going home to heaven, bright heaven, sweet heaven,
Where the waves of sorrow into music roll;
Where the flow’rs are blooming forever, forever,
And the peace of God shall overflow my soul.
2 My hopes are fixed on Jesus, my Saviour, my Saviour,
For his love unchanging thro’ long years I’ve known,
I’m sure he’ll keep me ever, forever, and ever,
Till I kneel in wond’ring joy before his throne. [Refrain]
3 O Christian friends, be faithful, be faithful, be faithful,
Many tribulations in our path may lie,
But we’ll go on rejoicing, rejoicing, rejoicing,
For we know a crown awaits us by and by. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I’m going home to heaven, bright heaven, sweet heaven]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[I’m going home to heaven, bright heaven, sweet heaven]" in The Old Story in Song Number Two William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
