Oh that home above so far away
That's where we pray we'll live someday
In that home above beyond the starlight sky
Where the souls of man will never die

I'm ready to leave this world below
To the home above I'm ready to go
Dad and mother will say welcome home our son
In our heavenly home your life just begun

Oh my mother and dad have gone before
They're waiting for me on heaven's shore
I long to see and shake their hands
When I'm safe at home as they had planned

* Refrain

Oh that beautiful land where we never die
That's where my soul shall rest on high
I'll sing and shout for his face I've seen
And with God I'll rest to eternity

* Refrain
