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 Savior steers us as we onward go.
Refrain
We’re homeward bound for glory,
Homeward bound for glory,
There we’ll meet with loved ones gone before;
We’re homeward bound for glory,
Homeward bound for glory;
All the storms of life will soon be o’er.
Jesus guides our storm tossed bark 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
Come on board the Gospel vessel, do not stay,
And we’ll help you as we journey on the way;
Soon to harbor at our Father’s blest abode,
We will worship in the city of our God.
