How far from home? I asked, as on
I bent my steps-the watchman spake:
“the long, dark night is almost gone,
The morning soon will break.
Then weep no more, but speed thy flight,
With Hope’s bright star guiding ray,
Till thou shalt reach the realms of light,
In everlasting days.”
2
I asked the warrior on the field;
This was his soul-inspiring song:
“With courage, bold, the sword I’ll wield,
The battle is not long.
Then weep no more, but well endure
The conflict, till thy work is done;
For this we know, the prize is sure,
When victory is won.”
3
I asked again; earth, sea, and sun
Seemed, with one voice, to make reply:
“Time’s wasting sands are nearly run,
Eternity is nigh.
Then weep no more-with warning tones,
Portentous signs are thickening round,
The whole creation, waiting, groans,
To hear the trumpet sound.”

Not far from home! O blessed thought!
The traveler’s lonely heart to cheer;
Which oft a healing balm has brought,
And dried the mourner’s tear.
Then weep no more, since we shall meet
Where weary footsteps never roam-
Our trials past, our joys complete,
Safe in our Father’s home.

Try “How Far From Home?”
Wonderful Sabbath Brethren. Try “How far from Home?”
Amen
yes indeed,it is a lovely song
yes, indeed it is a lovely song.. a very beautiful song about how far from home, God is powerful.
I wonder if the website can add the word Home to the very first line ie. How far from HOME (is missing).
Also in the last stanza the word for Trials is incorrectly spelled as Trails.
This is a most beautiful, encouraging song. We were blessed singing it this morning for worship.
Wonderful song enriching our souls
