Lyrics

The gold­en home­lights gleam and glow,
And cheer me on and on;
Thus they will show the way to go,
Until the nights have gone.

Refrain

O lights of home,
O gold­en lights of love,
Shine on till dawn,
The dawn of life above.

Tho’ wild­ly sweeps and beats the storm,
Tho’ tro­uble bil­lows roll,
These gold­en lights like friend­ship warm,
Give com­fort to my soul.

Refrain

Till all the dan­gers have been passed,
These lights will shine for me,
That I may praise my God at last,
Beside the crys­tal sea.
