I've Gone Home

I've gone home to be with Jesus
In this world, I could no longer stay
Halfway up the stairs to Heaven
The Savior came to show the way

My work in this world was done
Let there be no tears to cry
How beautiful this Heaven
This place called the Sweet By and By

I have heard Heaven's bells ringing
For this soul that has come Home
Whether by death or rapture
I'll forever sit at God's throne

I am basking in the glories of Heaven
I have looked in the dear Savior's face
I have seen the saints long since gone
All those He saved by His grace

I hear the angels singing
Their voices ere so sweet
How wonderful, how wonderful
To sit at the Savior's feet

Blessed eternity at last is mine
Loved ones, weep not for me
Praise Jesus and His Holy Name
I am where I have longed to be
