Meaning:
One day, one day, I will reach my true homeland.
One day I will arrive at a home where there are no tears—
the home of my Lord.
1
All the hardships of my journey will come to an end.
I will reach the home of my beloved Lord.
I am not far from home now;
the time remaining is not long.
I will take up my cross and continue this pilgrimage,
until my journey is complete
and I finally reach my heavenly homeland.
2
Today, my earthly home is only like a temporary tent;
but then I will have a divine and eternal home,
a dwelling not made by human hands.
Today I am a stranger in this world,
but then I will arrive in heaven and be truly blessed.
Though I am now walking through a valley of tears,
hope continues to blossom within my heart.
3
There are great trials both day and night,
and there are troubles that no one else knows about.
But one day all of them will be over;
every tear will be wiped away,
and every sorrow will disappear.
Hallelujah! I will sing with joy,
and I will receive the victory and reward that await me.
