SG Old Time Gospel Music

1.
Many years I've been living for Jesus,
now I'm nearing the end of the way.
The shadows all around me are falling,
as I wait for the close of the day.
The heavenly lights now are gleaming,
just one beckons for me,
I see Jesus at the portals of Heaven,
where the gates are swung open for me.

2.
Too many hard trials here I've labored,
I'm tired and I want to go home.
But I want all my friends to go with me,
to a land where we'll never more roam,
We'll walk down the vale here together,
hand in hand in this earth we have roamed.
Soon the circle on earth will be broken,
but we'll meet again in our new home.

Chorus
Open the windows dear children,
for the angels are anxious to go,
to carry me over death's river,
to a land free from sickness and woe.
They'll miss me around the old home place
but our partings will not be for long.
I'll be watching from the portals of Heaven.
to welcome you when you reach home.
