American Old Time Song Lyrics: 11 Homeward Bound

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 11

HOMEWARD BOUND.

Out on an ocean all boundless we ride,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound,
Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound;
Far from the safe, quiet harbor we rode,
Seeking our father's celestial abode,
Promise of which on us each he bestowed,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.

Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound,
Look yonder lie the bright heavenly shores,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound;
Steady, oh, pilot, stand firm at the wheel,
Steady, we soon shall out weather the gale;
Oh, how we fly 'neath the loud cracking sail,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.

Into the harbor of heaven now we glide,
We're home at last, home at last,
Safely we drift on its soft silver tide,
We're home at last, home at last;
Glory to God, all our dangers are o'er,
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God, we will shout evermore,
We're home at last, home at last.
