We are sail­ing o’er the surg­ing tide
To a home where joys ne’er die;
Trusting Je­sus on­ly as our guide,
We shall reach it by and by.

Refrain

Sailing home! we’re sail­ing home;
By and by we’ll an­chor there;
Sailing home! we’re sail­ing home!
Life’s un­fad­ing crown to wear.

We are sail­ing to that hap­py shore
Where is felt no grief nor pain;
Meeting there our loved ones gone be­fore,
We shall ne­ver part again.

Refrain

Sailing home, we swift­ly on­ward sweep,
Cheered by Hea­ven’s bea­con light;
Jesus guides us safe­ly o’er the deep,
To that ha­ven calm and bright.
