OUT ON AN OCEAN ALL BOUNDLESS WE RIDE.

"Homeward Bound."

REV. WM. F. WARREN.

1. Out on an o-cean all boundless we ride, We're homeward bound, homeward bound;
2. Wild-ly the storm sweeps us on as it soars, We're homeward bound, homeward bound;
3 In
to the harbor of heaven now we glide, We're home at last, home at last;

C. S. Harrington.

Far from the safe, quiet harbor we rode,
Steady! O pilot! stand firm at the wheel,
Glo-ry to God! all our dangers are o'er;

Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide, We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Look! yonder lie the bright heaven-ly shores, We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Softly we drift on its bright silver tide, We're home at last, home at last.

Seeking our Father's ce-les-tial a- a-bode, Steady! we soon shall out-weather the gale; Safe-ly we stand on the ra - di-ant shore;

Prom-ise of which on us each He bestowed, We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Oh! how we fly 'neath the loud creaking sail; We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Glory to God! we will shout ev-er-more, We're home at last, home at last.
