1 As o’er the dark wa­ters we glide,
My heart has grown wea­ry and lone;
I’m long­ing with Thee to ab­ide,
Dear Sav­ior, I’m long­ing for home.

Refrain:
Longing for home, long­ing for home,
My heart is long­ing for home.
Longing, yes, long­ing for home,
Longing, yes, long­ing for home,
My heart is long­ing for home.

2 How ma­ny more tr­ials await?
How ma­ny more tears to be sown
Before I shall en­ter the gate?
Dear Savior, I’m longi­ng for home. [Refrain]

3 How sweet it will be to be there,
With loved ones for­ev­er to roam;
Sometimes to my heart they seem near,
And then I am long­ing for home. [Refrain]
