When the Saviour in His glory
Comes to sit on the judgment throne,
When I pass that day before Him,
I shall only be going home.

Chorus:
I shall only be going home,
I shall only be going home;
When I pass to my Saviour’s presence,
I shall only be going home.

I shall have no cause to fear Him,
Though I know I must stand alone;
If to Him I have been faithful,
I shall only be going home. [Chorus]

And I know that joys eternal,
Shall be mine when the Lord shall come;
And that when I rise to meet Him,
I shall only be going home. [Chorus]

I am pining for His presence,
As apart from my Lord I roam;
I am weary here of staying,
And I long to be going home. [Chorus]
