1 There's a lovely harbor of peace and rest,
Away o'er the storm-tossed foam;
Oh, my heart is seeking that haven blest,
I'm longing to reach that home.
Refrain:
Softly I'll glide with the flowing tide,
When murmuring winds shall cease;
Into the harbor, the beautiful harbor,
Harbor of rest and peace.
2 There's a rainbow spans all that harbor wide,
God's sunshine on human tears;
With a golden ripple, the ebbing tide
Sweeps out all our doubts and fears. [Refrain]
3 There the waves shall mirror the faces back
We've missed so long and sore;
As they crowd to welcome our homeward track,
And beckon us to the shore. [Refrain]
4 There the river of life comes winding down
From the everlasting hills;
There the music of heaven all sorrow drowns,
And each soul with its rapture fills. [Refrain]
