Lyrics

When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear, and wipe my weeping eyes.
I feel like I'm on my journey home.

Should earth against my soul engage, and fiery darts be hurl'd,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage, and face a frowning world.
I feel like I'm on my journey home.

Let cares, like a wild deluge come, let storms of sorrow fall,
So I but safely reach my home, my God, my heav'n, my all.
I feel like I'm on my journey home.

There I shall bathe my weary soul in seas of heav'nly rest;
and not a wave of trouble roll across my peaceful breast.
I feel like I'm on my journey home.
