HOMEWARD BOUND. 10s & 7s.

Arr. by J. W. D.

END.

1. Out on an ocean all boundless, we ride, We're homeward bound, homeward bound; Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide, We're homeward bound, homeward bound; Promise of which on us each he bestowed, We're homeward bound,homeward bound.

Far from the safe, quiet harbor we've rode, Seeking our Father's ce

lestial abode,

2.

Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars,

We're homeward bound, homeward bound; Look! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores, We're homeward bound, homeward bound; Steady! O pilot! stand firm at the wheel! Steady! we soon shall out-weather the gale; O, how we fly 'neath the loud-creaking sail! We're homeward bound, homeward bound.

3.

Into the harbor of heaven now we glide,
We're home at last, home at last;
Softly we drift on the bright silver tide,
We're home at last, home at last;
Glory to God! all our dangers are o'er;
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God, we will shout evermore,
We're home at last, home at last.

Rev. W. F. Warren.

[homes; Thousands you've heard of with once happy Where are they now? are they now? Millions you've heard of who rushed to the tombs;

Weep, thinking how, thinking how. Think of the fathers the foe has beguiled, Think of the heart-broken mother and child, Think of the homes made distracted and wild; Then take the vow, take the vow.

3.

Touch not the cup then, as long as you live;
Safety is there! safety's there! [give;
Pleasures you sigh for, sweet Temperance can
Make her your care, her your care.
Come to her pledge, and enrolling your name,
Hail it the passport from ruin and shame,
To happiness, pure friendship, and fame,
Come, brother dear, brother dear.

Heavenward Bound.

1.

17

In life's bright morning the tempest we brave, We're heavenward bound, heavenward bound Out on the dark and the storm broken wave,

We're heavenward bound, heavenward bound. Earth's bright attractions grow dim in the light, The far distant city reveals to our sight, Toward which we're urging our unceasing flight, We're heavenward bound, heavenward bound.

2.

Tossed though we be on a dark restless tide, We're heavenward bound, heavenward bound The old ship of Zion will dangers outride,

We're heavenward bound, heavenward bound The voice of our Captain dispelleth our fear; Hear him proclaiming, "An hundred fold here," With life eternal, when he shall appear,

To all heaven ward bound, heavenward bound. 3.

Now to the youthful the voyage we commend,
Come, with us go, with us go;
Welcome! a welcome to all we extend,

Say, will you go, will you go?
Swiftly, O swiftly we'll fly to the ark!

Our ship now is passing,-make haste to embark!

The night hastens quickly, all dreary and dark,
Haste! let us go, let us go!
Rev. E. Mason.

SABBATH SCHOOLS MUST HAVE THEIR MEETINGS.
