Lyrics

Happy home com­ing of our king;
We’ll meet our loved ones gone be­fore,
And sweet the greet­ing they will bring
To us up­on the gold­en shore.

Refrain

Happy home com­ing,
Blessèd home com­ing,
Glorious home com­ing of our Sav­ior, King!
Happy home com­ing,
Blessèd home com­ing,
Glorious home com­ing of our Sav­ior, king!

Blessèd home com­ing of our king;
We’ll join the ev­er­last­ing psalm
Of joy that an­gel voic­es sing,
The song of Mos­es and the Lamb.

Refrain

Glorious home com­ing of our king;
With Je­sus we will live al­way
Where songs of love and glad­ness ring
In tune thro’ Heav’n’s eter­nal day.
