We're homeward bound, etc. 3 Into the harbor of heaven now we glide, We're home at last, home at last; Softly we drift on its bright silver tide, We're home at last, home at last. Glory to God! all our dangers are o'er, We stand secure on the glorified shore; Glory to God! we shall shout ever more; We're home at last, home at last.

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,348 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal City of God First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1.

With salvation's wall surrounded, Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 2. See the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear and want remove; Who can faint when such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3. Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near; Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 4. Saviour, if of Zion's city I, thro' grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name; Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.
