How Far From Home
Tono: Original
Anne R. Smith
SDA Hymnal (1985) Hymn # 439
[Verse 1]
D G D
How far from home? I asked, as on
A A7 G D
I bent my stepsâthe watchman spake:
D G D
âThe long, dark night is almost gone,
A A7 D
The morning soon will break.
A A7 G D
Then weep no more, but speed thy flight,
A A7 G D
With Hopeâs bright star thy guiding ray,
D G D
Till thou shalt reach the realms of light,
A A7 D
In everlasting day.â
[Verse 2]
D G D
I asked the warrior on the field;
A A7 G D
This was his soul-inspiring song:
D G D
âWith courage bold, the sword Iâll wield,
A A7 D
The battle is not long.
A A7 G D
Then weep no more, but well endure
A A7 G D
The conflict, till thy work is done;
D G D
For this we know, the prize is sure,
A A7 D
When victory is won.â
[Verse 3]
D G D
I asked again; earth, sea, and sun
A A7 G D
Seemed, with one voice, to make reply:
D G D
âTimeâs wasting sands are nearly run,
A A7 D
E-ter-ni-ty is nigh.
A A7 G D
Then weep no moreâwith warning tones,
A A7 G D
Portentous sights are thickâning round,
D G D
The whole creation, waiting, groans,
A A7 D
To hear the trumpet sound.â
[Verse 4]
D G D
Not far from home! O blessed thought!
A A7 G D
The travâlerâs lonely heart to cheer;
D G D
Which oft a healing balm has brought,
A A7 D
And dried the mournerâs tear.
A A7 G D
Then weep no more, since we shall meet
A A7 G D
Where weary footsteps never roamâ
D G D
Our trials past, our joys complete,
A A7 D
Safe in our Fatherâs home.
