Foli.

We're Going Home.

A. A. G.

1. Youthful pilgrims, whither bound Thro' this vale so fearful? Passing o'er enchanted ground, Why are you so cheerful? 2. Tell us why, when pleasure woos, You will not believe her? Tell us why the heart you close On the gay deceiver?

Oh we're going, go-ing home to our hap-py, hap-py home, To the city of our Sav-iour King, Where the

Wounds the pilgrim weary,
Where's the balm to ease the smart
In the desert dreary?-CHO.

207. The Sabbath.

1. How sweet is the Sabbath to me,
The day when the Saviour arose;
"Tis heaven his beauties to see,

And in his soft arms to repose.

He knows I am weak and defiled,

My life is but empty and vain; But if he will make me his child, I'll never forsake him again.

2. This day he invites me to come, How kindly he bids me draw

near;

He offers me heaven for home,

And wipes off the penitent tear: He offers to pardon my sin,

And keep me from every snare, To sprinkle and cleanse me within, And show me his tenderest care.

2. There the glory is ever shining!

Oh my longing heart, my longing heart is there;
Here in this country, so dark and dreary,
I long have wandered, forlorn and weary.
I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, etc.

3. There's the city to which I journey;
My Redeemer, my Redeemer is its light!
There is no sorrow, nor any sighing,
Nor any sin there, nor any dying!
I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, etc.

2. Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roarsWe're homeward bound;

Look, yonder lie the bright heavenly shoresWe're homeward bound.

Steady, O pilot, stand firm at the wheel; Steady, we soon shall outweather the gale: Oh how we fly 'neath the loud creaking sailWe're homeward bound.

3. We'll tell the world as we journey along,
We're homeward bound;

Try to persuade them to enter our throng-
We're homeward bound.

Come, trembling sinner, forlorn and opprest, Join in our number, Oh come and be blest; Journey with us to the mansions of restWe're homeward bound.

4. Into the harbor of heaven we glideWe're home at last;

Softly we drift on its bright silver tide-
We're home at last.

Glory to God, all our dangers are o'er,
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
"Glory to God!" we will shout evermore;
We're home at last!
