Refrain: I am going home in the good old way; I am going home in the good old way; Dear sinner, come and go I pray, For I’m going home in the good old way. 2 Oh, it was a joyous day for me, When He touch’d my eyes and made me see; When He taught me how to live and pray, Now I’m going home in the good old way. [Refrain] 3 I could never find the path alone, But the Lord my hand takes in His own; With His grace upholding day by day, I am going home in the good old way. [Refrain] 4 I am going home, yes, this I know, Tho’ no worthiness have I to show, ‘Tis by Jesus’ blood I’m saved today, And I’m going home in the good old way. [Refrain] 5 I am going home where loved ones wait, Soon I’ll enter thro’ the pearly gate; With my Lord Divine to ever stay, I am going home in the good old way.
