HOMEWARD BOUND
A Friendship forever,
a friendship that lasts.
A joy that has ever
all moments surpassed.
Let not the darkness,
the dreary and doom,
take me from heaven,
or light's warm bloom.
A friend is forever.
He knows me—my past.
Stray from Him never,
beside Him, steadfast.
Shepherd by shepherd,
so glad to be found!
Feeding His flocks
and to be homeward-bound.
