For when I remember the sorrowful time
When the great ship sailed to the far-off clime,
I can see my dear mother's face arise
With the anguished look in her fond old eyes.
dear, dear home, on a distant shore,
Shall I ever behold thy loved ones more?

dear, dear home, on a distant shore,
Shall I ever behold thy loved ones more?
Beautiful home of Eternal rest,
Home everlasting for all of the blest,
How often I wish that my weary feet
Were ready to pace thy golden street.
Home, where no parting or sorrow will be,
Beautiful land where there's "no more sea,"
No wrecks cast up by the turbulent wave!
No shadow of death, no fear of the grave.
O God! when on earth I cease to be,
May I dwell in Thy home for Eternity.

Home, dear home, with a true heart blest;
Home, dear home, in the golden West;
Bright, bright home of Eternal rest;
Say, which of the three should I love best?
