THE HOUNDSMAN HAS COME HOME I WOKE TO SEE HEAVENS GOLDEN GATES
THERE STOOD MY LORD, TO REVEAL MY FATE
HE TURNS TO GOD, AND SAYS THIS ONE IS MINE
HE IS THE HOUNDSMAN, I'VE KNOWN HIM A LONG TIME
THIS HOUNDSMAN IS SPECIAL YOU SEE
HE FOUND HIS LORD IN THE DARKNESS AND TREES
IN THE SWAMPS HE SAW THE BEAUTY OF CREATION
HE PRAYED TO HIS LORD WITHOUT HESITATION
TO HIM, I GAVE HOUNDS, AND MADE SURE THEY WERE GOOD
BECAUSE ON MY WORD, IS WHERE HE STOOD
SO NOW MY HOUNDSMAN HAS COME HOME
HIS REWARD IS HEAVEN FOREVER TO ROAM
HE CAN HAVE ENDLESS COON RACES
OR TREE 10, AND PUT HIS HOUNDS THUR THE PACES
IT WILL NEVER BE TOO WET OR TOO DRY
ALL ACROSS HEAVEN, HIS HOUNDS IN FULL CRY
HE'LL NEVER WORRY ABOUT WHERE HE CAN HUNT
HEAVEN IS ENDLESS, ANY WHERE HE CAN DUMP
HE WON'T NEED A LIGHT, FOR HE HAS ME
THE LORD - FOREVER HIS HUNTING BUDDIE TO BE
SO NOW DEAR HOUNDSMAN TAKE YOUR REWARD
THIS NIGHT AND FOREVER YOU HUNT WITH YOUR LORD
THIS IS A DREAM I'VE HAD MANY A NIGHT
HUNTING IN HEAVEN, IN GODS GLORIOUS LIGHT
