Ransomed ones are safe­ly cross­ing
To the hap­py, gold­en shore,
Earth-life end­ed, from all toil and sor­rows free;
Trusting on­ly in their Sav­ior,
Safe tho’ ang­ry bil­lows roar,
Going home with Him to spend eter­ni­ty.

Refrain

They are cross­ing, safe­ly cross­ing
From the scenes of pain and strife,
Having won the vic­to­ry for­ev­er­more;
With the Sav­ior as their pi­lot
To the home of end­less life,
They are cross­ing, they are safe­ly cross­ing o’er.
With the Sa­vior as their pi­lot
To the home of end­less life,
They are cross­ing, they are cross­ing safe­ly o’er.

One by one they’re safe­ly cross­ing,
Guided by the Sav­ior’s hand,
Soon with joy they’ll stand up­on the streets of gold;
O no foes or sin­ful ones can
Reach the pro­mised glo­ry land,
But the pure in heart shall Christ fore’er be­hold!

Refrain

They are cross­ing, safe­ly cross­ing,
For they’ve heard the Sav­ior’s voice,
And ac­cept­ed Him, the Life, the Truth, the Way;
Brother, sis­ter, heed His plead­ing,
In His mer­cy now re­joice
That you safe­ly cross and share Heav’n’s joy for aye.
