Land ahead! sweet words so cheering To the tempest-tost and tried, For the heavenly port we’re nearing, Land for which we oft have sighed. Refrain: But amid the tempest’s road, Zion’s ship is nearing shore; Get the anchor o’er the rail Soon we’ll cast within the vail. 2 Land ahead! “the night of weeping” Yields to dawn of endless day; Jesus comes to wake the sleeping Jewels that are laid away. Land ahead! our home in glory, Pilgrims soon its shores will throng; Then we’ll sing “the old, old story,” And will shout redemption’s song.
