O bless­èd home where those who meet
Again we stand with part­ing hand,
There, as end­less ag­es roll,
Yet ev­er comes the thought of sad­ness,
We’ll re­call the scenes we have left be­hind,
We’ll re­call the scenes we have left be­hind,
And a fore­taste of Heav­en en­joy,
From which he wan­dered years be­fore?
Only a few more earth­ly songs,
Only a few more earth­ly songs,
By the grace of God I’ll meet you ov­er there.
There to meet with loved ones,
When from things of earth and friends we hold so dear,
There to live with her for­ev­er
Heaven’s un­told bliss to share;
Upon us free­ly fall.
There’s a beau­ti­ful land on high,
I shall meet my loved ones,
It can take all the world at a sin­gle load,
A glo­ri­ous thought when we all get there,

good­bye

Where kin­dred souls each oth­er greet,
Goodbye, good­bye, we breathe a sigh,
No more good­byes, no more good­byes,
We’ll nev­er say good­bye in Heav’n,
In the dawn­ing of the morn­ing,
In the dawn­ing of the morn­ing,
Put an end to our mirth,
Meet me, my boy, be­yond the sky!
Then an eter­nal stay,
Then an eter­nal stay,
We will nev­er say Goodbye ov­er there,
I’ll be sa­tis­fied.
Oh, be rea­dy, for the day is near!
Thou art gone from us, dear mo­ther,
Some glad morn­ing, meet me there.
Its griefs and joys are past;
When ov­er the river we’re hap­py for ev­er
We shall meet to part no more,
