1 One by one we’re going home,
Gathering ’round the great white throne;
There we’ll live eternally
In our home beyond the sea.
Refrain:
Home at last beyond the sea,
There we’ll with our Savior be,
And we’ll rest forevermore
On that bright, celestial shore.
2 Father, mother now are there,
Brothers, too, and sisters fair;
They are resting glad and free,
In that home beyond the sea. [Refrain]
3 Kindred, friends have gone before
To that happy, golden shore;
All their toils and care are past—
They are home, safe home at last. [Refrain]
4 In that home so fair and bright
Jesus is the glorious light;
Soon His blessèd face I’ll see
In my home beyond the sea. [Refrain]
