Lyrics

There’s a land where sor­row
And sin are nev­er known;
’Tis the place where loved ones
Are wait­ing us to come;
Onward, ev­er on­ward,
The jour­ney near­ly done;
If we fol­low Je­sus,
He will lead us home.

Refrain

We are near­ing home,
We are near­ing home;
Soon we’ll cross the Jor­dan tide,
And be in sight of home.
We are near­ing home,
We are near­ing home,
Soon we’ll en­ter Ca­naan land,
And then be home.

Worn and wea­ry pil­grim,
With tri­als ev­ery day,
Does the path seem drea­ry
While toil­ing up the way?
Hear the Savi­or say­ing,
Trust Me, I’ll be your guide;
I will bear your bur­dens,
All your needs pro­vide.

Refrain

Let not earth­ly trea­sures
Allure you from the way;
Linger not in plea­sure,
Be faith­ful, watch and pray;
Loyal to your Mas­ter,
The strife will soon be o’er;
Then we’ll all be ga­thered
On the shin­ing shore.

Refrain
