Verse 1

[D]How far from[G] home?[D] I asked, as on
I[A] bent[A7] my ste[G]ps—th[D]e watchman spake:
[D]“The long, da[G]rk nigh[D]t is almost gone,
Th[A]e mor[A7]ning so[D]on will break.
The[A]n wee[A7]p no mo[G]re, bu[D]t speed thy flight,
Wit[A]h Hope’s [A7]bright[G] star [D]thy guiding ray,
[D]Till thou shalt r[G]each th[D]e realms of light,
In[A] ev[A7]erlast[D]ing day.”

Verse 2

[D]I asked the w[G]arrio[D]r on the field;
Thi[A]s was[A7] his s[G]oul-in[D]spiring song:
[D]“With courage b[G]old, th[D]e sword I’ll wield,
Th[A]e bat[A7]tle is[D] not long.
The[A]n we[A7]ep no m[G]ore,[D] but well endure
Th[A]e confl[A7]ict, til[G]l thy[D] work is done;
[D]For this we kn[G]ow, th[D]e prize is sure,
  A  A7 D
When victory is won.”

Verse 3

[D]I asked again;[G] earth[D], sea, and sun
Seem[A]ed, wi[A7]th one [G]voice[D], to make reply:
[D]“Time’s wasting[G] sand[D]s are nearly run,
E[A]-ter-[A7]ni-ty [D]is nigh.
Th[A]en we[A7]ep no [G]more[D]— with warning tones,
Po[A]rtent[A7]ous sigh[G]ts are [D]thick’ning round,
[D]The whole cr[G]eation[D], waiting, groans,
To[A] hear[A7] the t[D]rumpet sound.”

Verse 4

[D]Not far from[G] home[D]! O blessed thought!
Th[A]e trav’l[A7]er’s [G]lonely [D]heart to cheer;
[D]Which oft a [G]healin[D]g balm has brought,
An[A]d drie[A7]d the m[D]ourner’s tear.
The[A]n wee[A7]p no mo[G]re, si[D]nce we shall meet
Whe[A]re w[A7]eary f[G]oots[D]teps never roam—
[D]Our trials pa[G]st, ou[D]r joys complete,
  A   A7   D
Safe in our Father’s home.
