Representative Text

1 Trav'ling on the sea of life we're homeward bound,
Drifting wrecks and struggling souls are all around;
But we do not fear the voyage, for we know
That the Saviour steers us as we onward go.

Refrain:
We're homeward bound for glory,
Homeward bound for glory;
There we'll meet with lov'd ones gone before,
We're homeward bound for glory,
Homeward bound for glory,
All the storms of life will soon be o'er.

2 Jesus guides our storm-toss'd barque across the seas,
He will bring us safely to the port of peace;
He's the Pilot; He is standing at the helm,
And no angry winds or waves can overwhelm. [Refrain]

3 Come on board the Gospel vessel, do not stay,
And we'll help you as we journey on the way;
Soon to harbour at our Father's blest abode,
We will worship in the city of our God. [Refrain]
