Carry Me Home

Carry Me Home             Rick Modlin, Owen Alstott

Verse 1
End of day softly falling into night. 
O Jesus, carry me home.
Now the work of the present day is done. 
O Jesus, carry me home.

Verse 2
Joyful song, joyful laughter silent fall. 
O Jesus, carry me home. 
Pure and bright shall the mem’ry linger on. 
O Jesus, carry me home. 

Refrain
Carry me home, carry me home. 
O Jesus, carry me home.
Carry me home, carry me home. 
O Jesus, carry me home.

Verse 3
In God’s hands to forever safely rest.
O Jesus, carry me home.
Now fulfilled in creation’s wondrous plan.
O Jesus, carry me home. (Refrain)

Coda
As my last prayer ascends,
’round me fam’ly and gentle friends.
Carry me home, carry me home. 
O Jesus, carry me home.
O Jesus, carry me home.
