A great day is coming
Heaven's gate will open wide
And all who know the Lord may enter in
To join with their loved ones
Who in Jesus Christ have died
Their eternal life in heaven will begin
And the Lord Himself will greet us
O what joy will fill that day
When with a smile from the heav'nly Father
He'll look on us and say
Welcome home, children
This is the place I prepared for you
Welcome home, children
Now that your work on earth is through
Welcome home, children
Ye who have followed so faithfully
Welcome home, children
Welcome home, children
Here where I am you will always be
Forever rejoicing with Me
In my Father's house are many mansions
If it were not so I would have told you
I go to prepare a place for you
And if I go and prepare a place for you
I will come again and receive you unto Myself
Welcome home, children
Ye who have followed so faithfully
Welcome home, children
Welcome home, children
Here where I am you will always be
Forever rejoicing, forever rejoicing
Forever rejoicing with Me
