Lyrics

Home at last on heav’n­ly mount­ains,
Heard the Come and en­ter in;
Saved by life’s fair flow­ing fount­ains,
Saved from earth­ly taint and sin.

Refrain

Home, sweet home, our home for­ev­er;
All the pil­grim jour­ney past;
Welcomed home to wander ne­ver,
Saved through Je­sus—Home at last.

Free at last from all temp­ta­tion,
No more need of watch­ful care;
Joyful in com­plete sal­va­tion,
Giv’n the vic­tor’s crown to wear.

Refrain

Saved to greet on hills of glo­ry
Loved ones we have missed so long;
Saved to tell the sin­ner’s sto­ry,
Saved to sing re­demp­tion’s song.

Refrain

Welcomed at the pear­ly por­tal,
Ever more a wel­come guest;
Welcomed to the life im­mor­tal,
In the man­sions of the blest.
