I love this hymn. The first time I heard it was for my dad's funeral several years ago. A young welsh boy named Andrew Johnston did an excellent rendition on his debut album One Voice in 2008.

Goin' Home
there's another verse to that song that we sing...
Now my heart gets so heavey as I'm longing to see,
All my loved ones and friends I have known;
But each step draws me nearer to that land of my dream,
Praise God, I am going home.
Now my heart gets so heavey as I'm longing to see,
All my loved ones and friends I have known;
But each step draws me nearer to that land of my dream,
Praise God, I am going home.

Going Home
Many times in my childhood when we'd traveled so far,
By nightfall how weary I'd grow;
Father's arms would slip 'round me,
So gently he'd say,
"My child, we're going home."
Chorus:
Going home, oh, I'm going home,
There's nothing to hold me here;
For I've caught a glimpse of that heavenly land,
And now, I'm going home.
The twilight is fading and the day soon shall end;
I get homesick the farther I roam;
But my Father has led me each step of the way,
And now we're going home.
Many times in my childhood when we'd traveled so far,
By nightfall how weary I'd grow;
Father's arms would slip 'round me,
So gently he'd say,
"My child, we're going home."
Chorus:
Going home, oh, I'm going home,
There's nothing to hold me here;
For I've caught a glimpse of that heavenly land,
And now, I'm going home.
The twilight is fading and the day soon shall end;
I get homesick the farther I roam;
But my Father has led me each step of the way,
And now we're going home.

I chose this song for my Mom's funeral two years ago, and it was very comforting to my family. I heard it being played on bagpipes two days ago to honour some Canadian soildiers killed in Afganistan as their remains were being returned to Canadian soil. Very moving when played on the pipes.

I have the words to Going Home but I can't find an accompaniment trax for the song. I prefer the words by Fisher and Ken Bible. If anyone has a site where I can get the accompaniment please post it . Thanks!!

And here is the lyrics sung by Libera
Going home going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home
It's not far, just close by,
through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
never fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knew
I'm just going home
No more fear No more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
real life has begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just living on
Wide awake, with a smile
going on and on
Going home Going home
I am going home
shadows gone break of day
real life has begun
I'm just going home
Goin' Home
I am trying to buy this above version which was sung by Harry Secombe ................. any link or information will be gratefully received!

I believe the woman who sang Going Home in The Snake Pit was Betsy Drake, at that time she was the wife of Gene Kelly.
