Fair Lights of Home

Author: Jesse P. Tompkins Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When we're sailing o'er the ocean Refrain First Line: Oh, lights of home, fair lights of home Lyrics: 1 When we're sailing o'er the ocean, And our vessel's nearing home, We can see the lights that glimmer In the city o'er the foam; After all the doubt and darkness, When the angry billows roar, Oh, how sweet to see the glimmer Of the lights upon the shore. Chorus: Oh, lights of home, fair lights of home; Safe in the harbor, ne'er to roam; The sails are furled, the anchor cast, Praise God, we're home, safe home, at last. 2 When we're smiling o'er life's ocean To the port of perfect peace, E're we reach the sullen river, Where our journeyings shall cease, Though the clouds may hover o'er us, And the stormy billows roll, There's a light that's ever beaming For the guiding of the soul. [Chorus] 3 When at last we reach the river Where the waters ebb and flow, And the Pilot, there, is waiting, As our barks shall outward go; When the mystic voyage is over, And the walls celestial rise, How the heav'nly lights will glisten, Fair, to our immortal eyes.
