When I see life’s gold­en sun­set
Lighting up the ro­sy west,
When the sha­dows back­ward
O’er my way are cast;
I shall look up­on that mo­ment
As the one su­preme­ly blest,
I’m go­ing home at last.

Refrain

I’m go­ing home at last,
I’m go­ing home at last;
When my work on earth is end­ed
And my race be­low is run,
I’m go­ing home at last.

Tho’ the road at times was wea­ry,
Over which my feet have trod,
Tho’ thro’ many tri­bu­la­tions
I have passed;
Yet I soon will reach my man­sion
In the ci­ty of our God,
I’m go­ing home at last.

Refrain

When I pass down thro’ the val­ley
And the sha­dow of the dead,
To my bless­èd Sav­ior’s hand
I will hold fast;
He has pro­mised to go with me,
So my soul will have no dread,
I’m go­ing home at last.

Refrain
