Homeward Bound (Warren)

Out on an ocean all bound­less we ride

We’re home­ward bound

home­ward bound;

Tossed on the waves of a rough

rest­less tide

We’re home­ward bound

home­ward bound;

Far from the safe

qui­et har­bor we rode

Seeking our Fa­ther’s ce­les­ti­al ab­ode;

Promise of which on us each He be­stowed:

We’re home­ward bound

home­ward bound.

Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars

We’re home­ward bound

home­ward bound;

Look! yon­der lie the bright heav­en­ly shores:

We’re home­ward bound

home­ward bound;

Steady

O pi­lot! stand firm at the wheel;

Steady! we soon shall out­wea­ther the gale;

Oh

how we fly ’neath the loud creak­ing sail!

We’re home­ward bound

home­ward bound.

Into the har­bor of Heav’n now we glide;

We’re home at last

home at last;

Softly we drift on its bright sil­ver tide;

We’re home at last

home at last;

Glory to God! all our dan­gers are o’er;

We stand se­cure on the glo­ri­fied shore;

Glory to God! we will shout ev­er­more:

We’re home at last

home at last;
