I'll Be Home Before Dark Lyrics & Chords

By Charles Wycuff

Verse 1

(C)Often in my mind I wander to my younger (G)days, 

When I'd roam the hills and valleys in my childhood (C)plays; 

But I always would remember Mother's last re(F)mark,

She had made as I was (C)leaving, You be (G)home before (C)dark! 



Chorus 

(C)I'll be home before the darkenss falls in this troubled (G)land, 

i'll be meeting with the ones I love on the golden (C)strand; 

When the supper table has been set, before they (F)start, 

I'll be safely in my (C)Father's house; I'll be (G)home before (C)dark. 



Verse 2

There's a night that's surely coming to this world below, 

There has never been such trouble, suffering, pain, and woe, 

But before the night has fallen, brother, we'll be gone, 

For the Lord will call the children to His heavenly home. 



Chorus

I'll be home before the darkenss falls in this troubled land, 

i'll be meeting with the ones I love on the golden strand; 

When the supper table has been set, before they start, 

I'll be safely in my Father's house; I'll be home before dark.  



Verse 3

Should the Lord delay His coming to this earth again, 

I may go by death to glory, heaven's grand domain; 

But there won't be any darkness when I shall embark, 

Thru the valley of the shadow, I'll be home before dark.
