Home at Last Lyrics

Hark the song of holy rapture
Hear it break from yonder strand
Where our friends for us are waiting
In the olden summer land

They have reached the port of glory
O'er the Jordan they have passed

And with millions they are shouting
Home at last, home at last
And with millions they are shouting
Home at last

O, the long and sweet reunion
Where the bells of time shall cease
O, the greeting, endless greeting
On the vernal heights of peace

Where the hoping and desponding
Of the weary heart are past

And we enter life eternal
Home at last, home at last
And we enter life eternal
Home at last

Look beyond, the skies are clearing
See, the mist dissolves away
Soon our eyes will catch the dawning
Of a bright, celestial day

And rejoicing we shall gather
Home at last, home at last
And rejoicing we shall gather
Home at last

Soon the shadows will be lifted
Home at last, home at last
That around us now are cast
Home at last
