Homeward Bound

J. W. Dadmun

I. Out

on an ocean all boundless we ride, We're homeward bound,homeward bound; 2. Wild- ly the storm sweeps us on as it roars, We're homeward bound,homeward bound; 3. We'll tell the world as we jour-ney a- long, We're homeward bound,homeward bound; 4. In to the harbor of Heav'n now we glide, We're home at last, home at last;

Tossed on the waves of a rough,rest-less tide, We're homeward bound,homeward bound;
Look! yon-der lie the bright heav-en-ly shores, We're homeward bound,homeward bound;
Try to persuade them to enter our throng, We're homeward bound,homeward bound;
ly we drift on its bright silver tide, We're home at last, home at last;

Soft

Far

from the safe,qui- et har - bor we rode, Seek-ing our Fa-ther's ce-les- tial a-bode; Steady! O pi-lot! stand firm at the wheel, Stead-y, we soon shall outweather the gale; Come,trembling sin-ner, for-lorn and oppressed, Join in our num-ber, O come and be blest; ry to God all our dangers are o'er, We stand se-cure on the glo- ri-fied shore;

Glo

Prom-ise

of which on us each He be-stowed, We're homeward bound,homeward bound. Oh! how we fly 'neath the loud creaking sail, We're homeward bound,homeward bound. Jour-ney with us to the man-sions of rest, We're homeward bound,homeward bound. Glory to God! we will shout ev er more, We're home at last, home at last!
