Lyrics
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 wrestler 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 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,
When God has wiped those tears away!
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 wrestler 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 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,
When God has wiped those tears away!
