VERSE 01: Dearest you’re gone far away,/Leaving us waiting the day/Till you return to the homeland,/Back to the watchers who care./Gladly we bade you “God speed,”/When to the Call you gave heed./Smiling we kissed you,/Long have we missed you,/Deep in our hearts is this prayer: CHORUS 01: God bring you safely to our arms again!/God guide and guard you o’er the mighty main!/Long tho’ tho way be/Dark tho’ the day be,/God bring you safe again!/Our thoughts are ever with you far away/Our hearts are yearning for you night and day/Duty said go,/Fate willed it so,/But God bring you safely to our arms again. VERSE 02: Far from our shores tho’ you roam,/We who are waiting at home,/Hope that the day soon will dawn when you will return to us all./Dear, we have waited so long./Yearning to hear love’s sweet song/We in our sorrow, wait for the morrow,/All love’s sweet thoughts to re-call. CHORUS 02: God bring you safely to our arms again!/God guide and guard you o’er the mighty main!/Long tho’ the way be,/Dark tho’ the day be,/God bring you safe again/Our thoughts are ever with you far away/Our hearts are yearning for you day by day,/Duty said go, fate willed it so,/But God bring you safely to our arms again! | |
