O who will come and go with me,
I am on my journey home;
I’m bound fair Canaan’s land to see,
I am on my journey home.
Chorus:
O come and go with me,
For I’m on my journey home.
Farewell, vain world, I’m going home,
I am on my journey home;
My Savior smiles and bids me come,
I am on my journey home.
(Chorus)
Sweet angels beckon me away,
I am on my journey home;
To sing God’s praise in endless day,
I am on my journey home.
(Chorus)
