I have known my times of sorrow
Walked my trail of tears
Been through lonesome valleys
Had my share of fears
And when I look around and see
What this world's come to be
Home has never sounded so good to me
I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
For my Savior's call
To rest in peace beside the crystal sea
This world, with all its madness
I'm ready now to leave
Home has never sounded so good to me
So good to me
When through these clouds of sorrow
I look upon His face
I'll behold His glory
And sing my songs of praise
I tell you now, it can't be long
Before eternity
Home has never sounded so good to me
I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
For my Savior's call
To rest in peace beside the crystal sea
This world, with all its madness
I'm ready now to leave
Home has never sounded so good to me
I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
For my Savior's call
To rest in peace beside the crystal sea
This world, with all its madness
I'm ready now to leave
Home has never sounded so good to me
Home has never sounded so good to me
(I'm gettin' ready to leave this world)
To me
(I'm gettin' ready for the gates of pearl)
Home has never sounded so good to me
To me
