Dear Home

Querido Lar

From all lands they will comeDe todas as terras irão chegar
One by one! One by one!Um a um! Um a um!
To the eternal mansion, to dwell thereNa eterna mansão, para ali morar,
Yes, one by one!Sim, um a um!
Clothed in celestial attireVestidos de trajes celestiais,
Far from the world and its sad criesBem longe do mundo e dos tristes ais,
They enjoy with Christ the perfect peaceDesfrutam com Cristo a perfeita paz,
Enjoying a life that satisfiesGozando uma vida que satisfaz.

In the eternal home, dear homeNo eterno lar, querido lar,
Here they enter one by one!Ei-los entrando um a um!

Yes, one by one!Sim, um a um!

We too shall arrive thereTambém nós havemos de ali chegar,

To share in the glory of the savedDa glória dos salvos compartilhar,

Some will enter that home beyondIrão uns entrar nesse lar de além
Without much suffering in this lifeSem muito sofrer no viver de aquém,
But others will have to struggle, sufferMas outros terão de lutar, sofrer,
Yet they will enter without falteringPorém hão de entrar sem desfalecer.
