Carry Me Home
Rick Modlin/Owen Alstott
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.
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.
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.
