1. I shall wear a golden crown

When I get home

I shall lay my burdens down

When I get home

Clad in robes of glory

I shall sing the story

of the Lord who bought me

when I get home

Chorus:

When I get home

When I get home

All sorrow will be over

When I get home

When I get home

When I get home

All sorrow will be over

When I get home.

2. All the darkness will be past

When I get home

I shall see the light at last

When I get home

Light from heaven streaming

O'er my pathway beaming

Ever guides me onward

Till I get home.

3. I shall see my Saviour's face

When I get home

Sing again of saving grace

When I get home

I shall stand before him

Gladly I'll adore Him

Ever to be with Him

When I get home.
