Upward to the prize,
We’re home­ward bound for glo­ry,
We’re home­ward bound for glo­ry,
Come to the gate that is lead­ing
Come to the gate that is lead­ing
And I’m home­ward bound to­day.
Step by step, some glad day,
We are pil­grims of a day,
’Twas that still my step might hast­en
The la­bor of the world is still;
And souls that way­ward flee!
And to his shoul­der binds.
Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see,
Thus the High­est owns the low­ly,
Guide them, Jew and Gen­tile,
I was lost; Thy ac­cents mild
Go and dig my grave to­day!

Homeward

Far above the skies.
There we’ll meet with loved ones gone be­fore;
There we’ll meet with loved ones gone be­fore;
end

I’m home­ward bound to­day;
Never can we go astray,
Singing on our cheer­ful way,
O how slow­ly have I oft­en
Father of home, ab­ide with me.
To Thy Spir­it yearn­ing,
And make his bliss com­plete;
With trans­port and with sing­ing!
Gathers them from ev­ery na­tion,
Young and old to­ge­ther,
I was blind! Thy healing ray
And I lay my staff away
