The Home Coming

I can see a city growing nearer! A brilliant glowing light becoming clearer A white stone wall I see and a band of heavenly hosts coming down to great me! A procession of angels, their trumpets to play Welcome us all home in perfect harmony! Arms out stretched by a golden river I’ll soon be there! All sorrow and tears fade away; forgotten memories of yesterday. A distant voice I hear, “ well done thou good and faithful servant!” Enter thou in the joy of the Lord!” All Heaven is filled with praise,A as the Father looks on with eyes full of love, another child comes home to take his place beside Heaven’s Dove
