Thinking Of Home

Author: T. D. Ard Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9026 Meter: 12.9.12.9 D First Line: I am thinking today of my friends far away Refrain First Line: am thinking today of that home far away Lyrics: 1 I am thinking today of my friends far away, Some I never shall see any more; Until death sets me free, from this body of clay, And my troubles and trials are o’er. Refrain: I am thinking today of that home far away, And its joys how I long to behold; There no sorrows can come to that sweet, happy home, And its pleasures can never be told. 2 Oh, how happy we’ll be when our loved ones we see, Who have gone on before us to Heav’n; We shall sing of His love in the mansions above, Where to us a new song shall be giv’n. [Refrain] 3 There our fathers have gone and are resting at home, Blessèd Savior is waiting for me; Yes, our mothers are there in that home bright and fair, And I hope we shall them again. [Refrain] 4 We have brothers at rest in that home of the blest, Where no cryings or pains ever come; There our sisters we’ll see And at rest ever be, in that beautiful, sweet, happy home. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MORELIA
