A song which asks God to lead us through this life to the home that He has prepared for us is "Lead Me Gently Home, Father”. The text was written and the tune was composed both by Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909). A native of East Liverpool, OH, he studied music at Mt. Union College in Alliance, OH, at the Boston, MA, Conservatory of Music, and at Leipzig, Germany. Two of his more famous and still-used gospel song are "Jesus Is All The World To Me" and "Softly And Tenderly Jesus Is Calling." His "Lead Me Gently Home" was published in 1879.
