I had journeyed long into the night
Through heavy rain and strong wind,
But then my troubles seemed so light,
For home was just around the bend.
I became so weary along the way
Would this long journey ever end?
Then my strength returned that day,
For home was just around the bend.
Troubles and trials bow us low
Along this long journey of life.
If we belong to God, we know
One day He will end our strife.
For Christians, our promise is sure.
When our earthly life will end,
Our soul forever more will endure
In our home just around the bend.
