1 Tossed upon life’s stormy sea,
For our home in heaven we sigh;
If to Christ we faithful be,
We shall anchor by and by!
By and by, yes, by and by,
We shall anchor by and by;
Storm-clouds ne’er shall sweep the skies,
When we anchor by and by!

2 In life’s battle sore we fight,
“Help, O Lord!” we oft must cry—
Thro’ Him standing for the right;
We shall triumph by and by!
By and by, yes, by and by,
We shall triumph by and by;
All our deadly foes shall fly,
When we triumph by and by!

3 When this life of toil is past,
And the earthly shadows fly,
Heav’n, our home, we’ll gain at last;
There’ll be glory by and by!
By and by, yes, by and by,
There’ll be glory by and by;
In our blessed Home on high,
There’ll be glory by and by!
