Crowning Day No. 5 ‎#33

33. Drifting

1 Drifting away to the haven of rest,
Sailing to port with the happy and blest,
Voices of loved ones are calling us there—
Calling the weary to rest.

Refrain:
Drifting away,
Drifting away,
Drifting away,
Drifting away we are drifting away.

2 Drifting away far beyond the blue sea,
Valley of Eden, we dream oft of thee;
Songs of the ransomed float down to us here
Calling us over the sea. [Refrain]

3 Drifting away to that beautiful home
Ended earth’s toils where no parting days come,
Storms are all past, and all tears wiped away
There in that beautiful home. [Refrain]
