I'm only a pilgrim and stranger In this unfriendly world that I roam For Jesus who has brought me from darkness Has promised me a heavenly home
In the Bible we read of a city Whose builder and ruler is God And someday when this life is over Its beautiful sights we'll behold
I'm longing for home, the sun goeth down I want to go where sweet rest can be found I'm just about through with this old house of clay
I'm leaving this world for glory someday
When the last weary mile has been traveled And the gates of that city swing wide Oh, what a glad feeling 'twill be To know that heaven is mine
Beyond the dark vale of sorrow With Jesus forever I'll be For to that city I'm going Behold, the Savior to see.
I'm longing for home, the sun goeth down I want to go where sweet rest can be found I'm just about through with this old house of clay I'm leaving this world for glory someday
I'm longing for home, the sun goeth down
I want to go where sweet rest can be found I'm just about through with this old house of clay I'm leaving this world for glory someday
