Land Ahead!
Author: J. G. T. Cruse Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Land ahead! a light is gleaming Refrain First Line: Yet amid the tempest’s roar Lyrics: 1 Land ahead! a light is gleaming
O’er the dark and sullen waves,
While the world at large is dreaming,
Thinking not of Him who saves.
Refrain:
Yet amid the tempest’s roar,
Zion’s ship is nearing shore;
Cast the anchor o’er the rail,
Soon we’ll land within the veil.
2 "Land ahead!" sweet words so cheering,
To the tempest tossed and tried;
For the heavenly port we’re nearing,
Home for which we oft have sighed. [Refrain]
3 Land ahead! "the night of weeping"
Yields to dawn of endless day;
Jesus comes to wake from sleeping,
Jewels that are laid away. [Refrain]
4 Land ahead! our home of glory
Pilgrims soon its shores will throng;
Then we’ll sing "the old, old story,"
And will shout redemption’s song. [Refrain] Used With Tune: DAYTONA Text Sources: The Gospel Singer by Philip Phillips (Philadelphia: Lee & Walker, 1874)
