Home at Last

Representative Text

1 Hear them shouting as they land:
“Home at last! home at last!”
Pilgrims on the farther strand,
Home at last, home at last.

Refrain:
Home at last, home at last,
They are home are home at last;
They are home, are home at last,
Home at last, home at last.

2 Hear the singing in that land:
“Home at last! home at last!”
Pilgrims, with the angel-band,
Home at last, home at last. [Refrain]

3 Sainted ones are over there,
“Home at last! home at last!”
Where the Saviour’s love they share,
Home at last, home at last. [Refrain]
