The Lamb is the light thereof.
Revelation 21:23
Words & Music: Charles C. Case, in Pure Diamonds, edited by James R. Murray (Cleveland, Ohio: S. Brainard’s Sons, 1872), page 27 (🔊 pdf nwc).
We are marching homeward with the blest,
To that bright, bright world above;
Where our friends are gone and are at rest,
In that world of light and love.
Refrain
Marching home, marching home;
We are marching homeward with the blest.
Marching home, marching home;
We are marching home to rest.
Jesus stands and beckons to us now,
As we falter on the way;
He will save us, if to Him we bow,
Who rules both night and day.
Refrain
Our dear Savior has prepared the way,
Where we all who will may come;
If we serve Him truly day by day,
He at last will bring us home.
