This is actually a medley of a few different hymns.
You get "I'm Going Home" twice in it, but also
interspersed are When All Thy Mercies, O My God (words
by Joseph Addison; music from Gardiner's Sacred
Melodies, 1882) and Sevenfold Amen (by John Steiner).
Both I'm Going Home and When All Thy Mercies mention
arriving in Heaven, and their tunes go nicely
together--Sevenfold Amen provides a good ending.
Perfect for offertory or other special service
music--

I’m Going Home
1. My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
Its glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine,
That heav’nly mansion shall be mine.
2. My Father’s house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heav’nly mansion mine shall be.
3. Let others seek a home below,
Which flames devour or waves o’erflow;
Be mine a happier lot to own
A heav’nly mansion near the throne.
Chorus: I’m going home, I’m going home,
I’m going home to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more—
I’m going home to die no more.
When All Thy Mercies, O My God
1. When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost,
In wonder, love and praise.
2. Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
3. When worn with sickness, oft has Thou
With health renewed my face;
And, when in sins and sorrows bowed,
Revived my soul with grace.
4. Thru ev’ry period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
