1. Shedding their shackles of mortal life,

God welcomes His servants back home.

Promising rest from their mortal strife,

God welcomes His servants back home.

How precious the life in service given!

How precious the glimpse of earthly heaven!

Shedding their shackles of mortal life,

God welcomes His servants back home.


2. Taking the burdens of their mortal load,
God welcomes His servants back home.
Off’ring peace from the perilous road,
God welcomes His servants back home.
How worthy the life that rescues the lost!
How worthy the one who asks not the cost!
Taking the burdens of their mortal load,
God welcomes His servants back home.

3. Greeting with joy, all those whom they love,
God welcomes His servants back home.
Seating them down in mansions above.
God welcomes His servants back home.
How glorious the life lived true to the end.
How glorious the gift through them God did send.
Greeting with joy, with all whom they love,
God welcomes His servants back home.
