They Are Safely Crossing

Ransomed ones are safe­ly cross­ing

To the hap­py

gold­en shore

Earth-life end­ed

from all toil and sor­rows free;

Trusting on­ly in their Sav­ior

Safe tho’ ang­ry bil­lows roar

Going home with Him to spend eter­ni­ty.

They are cross­ing

safe­ly cross­ing

From the scenes of pain and strife

Having won the vic­to­ry for­ev­er­more;

With the Sav­ior as their pi­lot

To the home of end­less life

They are cross­ing

they are safe­ly cross­ing o’er.

With the Sa­vior as their pi­lot

To the home of end­less life

They are cross­ing

they are cross­ing safe­ly o’er.

One by one they’re safe­ly cross­ing

Guided by the Sav­ior’s hand

Soon with joy they’ll stand up­on the streets of gold;

O no foes or sin­ful ones can

Reach the pro­mised glo­ry land

But the pure in heart shall Christ fore’er be­hold!

They are cross­ing

safe­ly cross­ing

For they’ve heard the Sav­ior’s voice

And ac­cept­ed Him

the Life

the Truth

the Way;

Brother

sis­ter

heed His plead­ing

In His mer­cy now re­joice

That you safe­ly cross and share Heav’n’s joy for aye.
