I am longing today for my home far away
Where I'll lay down my sorrow and my care.
At the end of earth's night, I will wake in God's light;
And my Father will welcome me there.
Welcome home, my child, welcome home;
All of the family is here.
You've done your best; Now take your rest.
Your struggle's over, Welcome home.
At the time God has planned,
I will go to that land; And I'll worship my Father at His throne.
All because of His grace I will see His dear face;
He will greet me and welcome me home.
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They're building a palace for me over there;
Tho' exiled from home, yet still I may sing;
All glory to God, I'm a child of the King.
Welcome home, my child, welcome home;
All of the family is here.
You've done your best; Now take your rest.
Your struggle's over, Welcome home.
Your struggle's over, Your struggle's over, your struggle's over
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home.
