WHEN THE HOME-GATES SWING OPEN FOR ME

(1st Verse)

I am on the upward road leading to that bright abode,

where forever my so shall be free.

Won't that be a happy time,

heaven's bells will sweetly chime,

when the home-gates swing open for me.

(Chorus)

That will be, a happy time,

When the clouds have passed away.

From my cares, I shall be free,

when the home-gates swing open for me.

(2nd Verse)

I'll keep walking in His light,

'till my faith shall end in sight,

He shall lead me to safe ore the sea.

I will find a welcome there,

and a crown of glory wear,

when the home-gates swing open for me.

(Repeat Chorus)
