As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, Heavenly Mansion, LFLP 22

THEN I'LL SETTLE DOWN
(C. B. WYCUFF)

As I travel through this land, many times can't understand
Why I must keep traveling here below
But I have this work to do and I mean to see it through
Til Jesus says it's time to go

CHORUS
I would like to settle down here in this old world below
And have a place to call my own
There are many lost in sin -- someone needs to bring them in
And so I must keep traveling on

But when the day is through, there's a home beyond the blue
Resting peaceful, all the faithful few
I should settle down up there in that home so bright and fair
'Twill be my glad eternal home

CHORUS

Oft the ways seem dark and long as I try to carry on
Many times the battle wages so
But this race will soon be run and I'll hear his words, "Well done,
Come and enter forevermore"

CHORUS

But when the day is through, there's a home beyond the blue
Resting peaceful, all the faithful few
I should settle down up there in that home so bright and fair
'Twill be my glad eternal home
