The Bright Array ‎#26

26. Home beyond the Tide

1 We are out on the ocean sailing,
Homeward bound we sweetly glide;
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide.

Refrain:
All the storms will soon be over,
Then we’ll anchor in the harbor;
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide;
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide.

2 Millions now are safely landed,
Over on the golden shore;
Millions more are on their journey,
Yet there’s room for millions more. [Refrain]

3 When we all are safely anchored,
We will shout—our trials o’er;
We will walk about the city,
And we’ll sing for evermore. [Refrain]
