Longing for home

As o'er the dark waters we glide
My heart has grown weary and lone
I long with thee to abide
Dear Saviour I'm longing for home


        Longing for home, yes longing for home
        My heart is longing for home
        Longing for home, yes longing for home
        My heart is longing for home


How sweet will be to die
With loved-ones forever to roam
Sometimes to my heart it seems nearer
And then I am longing for home


        * Refrain


How many more trials he'll bring
How many more spirits he'll call
Before I can enter the gates
Dear Saviour I'm longing for home


        * Refrain
