[Notes are sung by the group first.]

The Lord is leading me today;
His love shines all around.
Delight I find along the way,
For I am homeward bound.
Soon the great call for me will come;
I’ll lay my armor down,
From Him no more again to roam,
For I am homeward bound.

I never knew the happiness
That in His love is found,
Until he came, my soul to bless,
And now I’m homeward bound.
He raised me from the depths of sin
To higher, solid ground.
I’m drinking endless pleasure in,
Since I am homeward bound.

It will not give me cause for fear
To hear the trumpet sound,
And as that happy time draws near,
I still am homeward bound.
Soon I will strike the heavenly lyre
With saints of great renown,
And join that great harmonious choir;
Oh, I am homeward bound.
Soon I will strike the heavenly lyre
With saints of great renown,
And join that great harmonious choir;
Oh, I am homeward bound.
