In the gold of day,
Through the air there's a calling
Calling my children home – Doyle Lawson, Charles Waller, Robert Yates, From far away,
arr. Joseph H. Jennings There's a voice I can hear
That will lead me home
Those lives were mine to love and cherish,
To guard and guide along life’s way. Rise up, follow me,
Oh, God forbid that one should perish, Come away is the call,
that one alas should go astray. With love in your heart
As the only song;
Back in the years with all together, There is no such beauty
around the place we’d romp and play. As where you belong
So lonely now, I often wonder, Rise up, follow me,
oh, will they come back home someday? I will lead you home.

I’m lonesome for my precious children, text by Michael Dennis Browne (b.1940)
they live so far away.
Oh, may they hear my calling,
and come back home someday. My way home – Christopher H. Harris

I gave my all for my dear children, I know that sorrow's been here and peace may long be gone,
their problems still with love I share. I know my touch is fading though my memory lingers on.
I’d brave life’s storms, defy the tempest, Still your heart and calm your mind, if tears must flow and pain
to bring them home from anywhere. must grow, mourn me with grace, I've finished my race.

I lived my life, my love I gave them, I know disdain has spoken and heartache's had its say,
to guide them through this world of strife. In spite of what seems hopeless this is what I must pray.
I hope and pray we’ll live together, Still your heart and calm your mind, if tears must flow and pain
in that great glad hereafter life. must grow, mourn me with grace, I've finished my race.

I’m lonesome for my precious children, Weep not for me.

they live so far away. I have seen my struggle cease.
Oh, may they hear my calling, I have seen my fight's end.
and come back home someday. I have found my way home.

The road home – Stephen Paulus

Tell me where is the road Goin’ home to God – Traditional Spiritual, arr. Steve Barnett
I can call my own,
That I left, that I lost, Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world,
So long ago? Goin’ home to God.
All these years I have wandered
Oh, when will I know I want to meet my mother,
There's a way, there's a road I want to meet my father,
That will lead me home? I want to meet my sisters and brothers,
Goin’ home to God.

16 17
Soon I will be done… Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
I want to see my Jesus, To a land where joy shall never end
I want to see my Jesus, I'll fly away
I want to see my Jesus,
Goin’ home to God. I'll fly away, oh, Glory…

Soon I will done… It's been ten long years since I left my home
In the hollow where I was born
No more weepin’ and a-wailin’ Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
No more weepin’ and a-wailin’ And the foxhunter blows his horn
No more weepin’ and a-wailin’
Goin’ home to God. I fell in love with a girl from the town
I thought that she would be true
Soon I will done… I ran away to Charlottesville
And worked in a sawmill or two

Rock a my soul – Traditional Spiritual, arr. Joseph H. Jennings What have they done to the old home place
Why did they tear it down
Rock a my soul in the bosom of Abraham, And why did I leave the plow in the field
Rock a my soul in the bosom of Abraham, And look for a job in the town
Rock a my soul in the bosom of Abraham,
Oh, rock a my soul! Well my girl she ran off with somebody else
The taverns took all my pay
My soul is glad, And here I stand where the old home stood
From sin set free, Before they took it away
I’m going home to live with Thee!
Now the geese fly south and the cold wind blows
Rock a my soul… As I stand here and hang my head
I've lost my love I've lost my home
I may be weak, And now I wish that I was dead
But Thou are strong,
I’m leaning on His mighty arm!

Rock a my soul…
