Doughty Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #115 (1889) First Line: Life's closing hours pass sweetly by Refrain First Line: Homeward, homeward, Home to the shining shore Lyrics: 1 Life’s closing hours pass sweetly by, Earth’s pains are felt no more; To heav’n I now direct mine eye To view the shining shore. Refrain: Homeward, homeward, Home to the shining shore; Homeward, homeward, Home to the shining shore. 2 With trials and with conflicts past, And record placed on high, By faith I see the crown at last, And vict’ry drawing nigh. [Refrain] 3 The parting veil reveals the tide, Where on the margin wait My friends redeemed, the glorified, To sweep me through the gate. [Refrain] 4 As Nature sinks in Death’s embrace, So will my spirit rise Triumphant through redeeming grace, To rest in Paradise. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Life's closing hours pass sweetly by]
