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]
