Heaven Bound
When my steps grow weary
And I long for home,
When miles are behind me
And I wish not to roam,
You'll guide me so gently
With Your merciful hands
To Your Kingdom 'cross sea,

When my muscles turn weak
And my pace becomes real slow,
When eternal rest I seek
And discouraged I grow,
You'll whisper so softly
And clasp my weathered hand,
Leading across the sea
To Your glorious land!
