Oft our hearts are filled with sor­row,
As we jour­ney day by day;
But when we get home up yon­der,
God will wipe all tears away.

Refrain

O, the joy we’ll know in Hea­ven!
Free from toil and pain and care;
We will sing God’s praise for­ev­er,
And we’ll know no sor­row there.

Here our bur­dens oft are hea­vy,
And the road is rough and steep;
But our bless­èd Lord will guide us,
And His pro­mise true will keep.

Refrain

Precious friends who have de­part­ed
From this wea­ry vale of tears,
Will be wait­ing there to greet us,
Safe at home thro’ end­less years.

Refrain

O, ’twill be a grand re­un­ion,
When we reach that home­land fair;
There’ll be peace and joy for­ev­er,
For there’ll be no sor­row there.
