Later he will take me home–not now.
Later I will never roam–not now.
Later I’ll be free from sin;
Later, I just don’t know when;
Later I will live with him–not now.

Later my body will be free–not now.
Later lovely things I’ll see–not now.
Later I will cry no more;
Dwelling on the peaceful shore;
Later with the eagles soar–not now.
