Hymn Context Compare
Had I the wings of a dove, I would fly
I often think of hea­then lands,
I often think of hea­then lands,
And our bleed­ing feet are sore;
No day is dark and drea­ry,
Cheer the pi­lot’s vi­sion drea­ry,
Beyond this land of part­ing, los­ing and leav­ing,
And left the world behind me.

Safely, safe­ly, ga­thered in,
His grace is a store­house of rich­es to me,
His grace is a store­house of rich­es to me,
Higher His ways than the heav­ens are,
Jesus shed His blood to save us!
And bil­lows wild con­tend with an­gry roar,
Borne on the night winds, voic­es of yore

far

Where not a cloud ev­er dark­ens the sky,
Where many an id­ol tem­ple stands,
Where many an id­ol tem­ple stands,
Is it far to Ca­naan’s land?
No one is worn and wea­ry
Star of hope, gleam on the bil­low;
And far be­yond the tak­ing and the be­reav­ing
Far, far behind me!
Crown’d is the Lamb who by sinners is owned,
Nations wait in ago­ny;
Yet in the sha­dow of sin;
Where the Sav­ior waits to wel­come the dear souls for whom He died;
Out on the mount­ains cold and bare,
No more child­ish griefs or fears,
His love is far bet­ter than gold,
His love is far bet­ter than gold,
Walking, walk­ing with God.
In no other is re­demp­tion
That peace­ful still­ness reign­eth ev­er­more.
Far away beyond the star­lit skies,
