I'll Be Home Before Dark
Often in my mind I wander to my younger days,
When I'd roam the hills and valleys in my childhood plays;
But I always would remember Mother's last remark, She had made as I was leaving, You be home before dark!
Chorus
I'll be home before the darkenss falls in this troubled land,
i'll be meeting with the ones I love on the golden strand;
When the supper table has been set, before they start,
I'll be safely in my Father's house; I'll be home before dark.
There's a night that's surely coming to this world below,
There has never been such trouble, suffering, pain, and woe,
But before the night has fallen, brother, we'll be gone,
For the Lord will call the children to His heavenly home.
Should the Lord delay His coming to this earth again,
I may go by death to glory, heaven's grand domain;
But there won't be any darkness when I shall embark,
Thru the valley of the shadow, I'll be home before dark.
