Home again by Marshall Spring Pike — Lyrics
Home again, Home again,
From a foreign shore,
And oh! it fills my soul with joy
To meet my friends once more.
Here I dropped the parting tear,
To cross the ocean’s foam,
But now I’m once again with those,
Who kindly greet me home;
Home again, Home again,
From a foreign shore,
And oh! it fills my soul with joy
To meet my friends once more.
Happy hearts, Happy hearts,
With mine have laughed in glee;
But oh! the friends I loved in youth
Seem happier to me;
And if my guide should be fate
Which bids me longer roam;

About Home again
A heartwarming welcome home awaits with this SATB setting of an English text. Marshall Spring Pike crafts a jubilant return, capturing the profound joy of reuniting with loved ones after a journey. The lyrics speak of cherished friendships and the powerful, unbreakable ties that bind us to home, even through distance and time. This piece would be an ideal choice for a concert programme celebrating community, homecoming, or the simple pleasures of being reunited with those we hold dear. The four-part harmony lends a rich texture to the song's sincere and uplifting message.
