ohio, I think you will especially enjoy this, link here:

I wasn't familiar with the hymn, "Homeward Bound", sung as background to that wonderful tribute to our military.

Here they are for all (I couldn't distinguish them very well).


Homeward Bound
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red.
When the summer’s ceased its gleaming,
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure’s lost its meaning,
I’ll be homeward bound in time.

Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I’ll return to you somehow.

If you find it’s me you're missing, if you’re hoping I’ll return.
To your thoughts I’ll soon be list’ning, and in the road I’ll stop and turn.
Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end.
And the path I’ll be retracing when I’m homeward bound again.

Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I’ll return to you somehow.

In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing,
I’ll be homeward bound again.

Gretchen, I was so moved by that presentation and entranced by "Homeward Bound" that I bought the choral octavo and plan to have my church choir sing it. (The arrangement is almost identical as what the Brigham Young College Choir sings).

(btw, that link didn't work for me, but I'm assuming it's the same thing that I've seen).

Thank you so much for those verses, I just love this hymn, I have probably watched the vid 10 times already!

God Bless our brave men and women who serve their country.
