Fair Lights of Home

Tompkins Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When we're sailing o'er the ocean Refrain First Line: Oh, lights of home, fair lights of home Lyrics: 1 When we're sailing o'er the ocean, And our vessel's nearing home, We can see the lights that glimmer In the city o'er the foam; After all the doubt and darkness, When the angry billows roar, Oh, how sweet to see the glimmer Of the lights upon the shore. Chorus: Oh, lights of home, fair lights of home; Safe in the harbor, ne'er to roam; The sails are furled, the anchor cast, Praise God, we're home, safe home, at last. 2 When we're smiling o'er life's ocean To the port of perfect peace, E're we reach the sullen river, Where our journeyings shall cease, Though the clouds may hover o'er us, And the stormy billows roll, There's a light that's ever beaming For the guiding of the soul. [Chorus] 3 When at last we reach the river Where the waters ebb and flow, And the Pilot, there, is waiting, As our barks shall outward go; When the mystic voyage is over, And the walls celestial rise, How the heav'nly lights will glisten, Fair, to our immortal eyes.

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Golden moments now are passing Lyrics: 1 Golden moments now are passing, Soon will end life's little day, Why not seek for joys e'erlasting, Choose you now the better way; All below is ever fleeting, Earth can never satisfy, Love is now your heart entreating, Pointing to a home on high. 2 Can you longer slight the blessing Of the Saviour of mankind? Soon will come the time distressing When you'll not the Saviour find; For you can the Spirit grieving, Sin away your day of grace, Why be longer unbelieving? Come and take your blood-bought place. 3 Now's the time, the Saviour's waiting To bestow His love on you, Come, no more excuse be making, He will bear you conqueror through; Yield; and sin to Him confessing, You will find His Word is true, He will give you now the blessing Of a heart made white and new. 4 And when time with you has ended, To a mansion and a throne, He will take the soul befriended, As His loved one and His own; There you'll bask in life eternal, Hard before the throne of gold, There you'll sing the songs immortal, To the ransomed never old.
