OUT ON AN OCEAN ALL BOUNDLESS WE RIDE.

"Homeward Bound."

REV. WM. F. WARREN.

C. S. Harrington.

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; In to the harbor of heaven now we glide, We're home at last, home at last;

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.

Far from the safe, quiet harbor we rode,

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.

wait the final shock On the strong eter-nal Rock.

On the Rock, on the Rock,

Resting safely on the Rock; On the Rock, the solid Rock, Resting safely on the Rock.

And ruined by the fall;

1. God loved the world of sinners lost
2. Even now by faith I claim Him mine, The ris en Son of God;
3. Love brings the glorious fullness in, And to His saints makes known
4. Be-liev-ing souls, re- joi cing go; There shall to you

Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love! The love of God
