Author: Ira D. Sankey Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12183 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Home at last, thy labor done Refrain First Line: Depth of mercy, oh, how sweet Lyrics: 1 Home at last, thy labor done,
Safe and blest, the victory won;
Jordan passed, from sin set free,
Angels now have welcomed thee.
Refrain:
Depth of mercy, oh, how sweet,
Thus to rest at Jesus’ feet,
In yon world of light afar,
Safe within "the gate’s ajar!"
2 When dark waves were beating hard
Thy frail bark on Jordan’s flood,
Thou didst sing so glad and free,
"Yes, the gate’s ajar for me." [Refrain]
3 One short day of joy below,
Such as pardoned sinners know,
Then away on wings of love,
To thy home prepared above. [Refrain]
4 When earth’s songs have all been sung,
Labor ended, trials done,
"We’ll meet again," oh, happy word!
And be "for ever with the Lord." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: LECCE
