AWAY FROM HOME.
I know what eyes will meet it there,
What soul and lips will pray
That God may hold in tender care
Their loved one far away.
What soul and lips will pray
That God may hold in tender care
Their loved one far away.
O life is bright as heaven above
When youth and hope are free;
O earth is fair and full of love
On land and shore and sea;
But earth would dim and hope depart
If nearer day by day
I could not lead this longing heart
To loved ones far away.
When youth and hope are free;
O earth is fair and full of love
On land and shore and sea;
But earth would dim and hope depart
If nearer day by day
I could not lead this longing heart
To loved ones far away.
