Safe Home, Safe Home In Port!
Rent Cordage, Shattered Deck,
Torn Sails, Provisions Short,
And Only Not A Wreck;
But Oh! The Joy Upon The Shore
To Tell Our Voyage Perils O’er!
The Prize, The Prize Secure!
The Athlete Nearly Fell;
Bare All He Could Endure,
And Bare Not Always Well;
But He May Smile At Troubles Gone
Who Sets The Victor-Garland On.
No More The Foe Can Harm;
No More Of Leaguered Camp,
And Cry Of Night Alarm,
And Need Of Ready Lamp;
And Yet How Nearly He Had Failed
How Nearly Had That Foe Prevailed!
The Lamb Is In The Fold,
In Perfect Safety Penned;
The Lion Once Had Hold,
And Thought To Make An End;
But One Came By With Wounded Side,
And For The Sheep The Shepherd Died.
The Exile Is At Home!
O Nights And Days Of Tears,
O Longings Not To Roam,
O Sins And Doubts And Fears;
What Matters Now Grief’s Darkest Day?
The King Has Wiped Those Tears Away.
