Homeward Bound (Beveridge)

Composer: Robert Beveridge (1866–1925)

Trav’ling on the sea of life we’re home­ward bound

Drifting wrecks and strug­gling souls are all around;

But we do not fear the voy­age

for we know

That the Sav­ior steers us as we on­ward go.

We’re home­ward bound for glo­ry

Homeward bound for glo­ry

There we’ll meet with loved ones gone be­fore;

We’re home­ward bound for glo­ry

Homeward bound for glo­ry;

All the storms of life will soon be o’er.

Jesus guides our storm tossed bark across the seas;

He will bring us safe­ly to the port of peace;

He’s the Pi­lot; He is stand­ing at the helm

And no ang­ry winds or waves can ov­er­whelm.

Come on board the Gos­pel ves­sel

do not stay

And we’ll help you as we jour­ney on the way;

Soon to har­bor at our Fa­ther’s blest abode

We will wor­ship in the ci­ty of our God.
