Longing for Home Songtext
von Ralph Stanley

And o′re the dark waters we glide
My heart's growing weary and worn
I′m longing with speed to go by
Your Savior, I'm longing for home

Longing for home, longing for home
My heart is longing for home
Longing for home, longing for home
My heart is longing for home


How sweet will be the time
With loved ones forever to roam
Sometimes to my heart becomes nearer
And then I am longing for home

Longing for home, longing for home
My heart is longing for home
Longing for home, longing for home
My heart is longing for home

How many more trials away
How many more tears to be sewin
Before I shall enter the gate
Dear Savior, I'm longing for home


Longing for home, longing for home
My heart is longing for home
Longing for home, longing for home
My heart is longing for home
