Beautiful Homeland

A ci­ty awaits us we soon shall be­hold

Whose walls are of jas­per

Whose streets are of gold;

Not half of its glo­ries have ev­er been told

Blessèd home­land

dear home­land

Sweet home of the soul.

Oh

I long

yes I long there to dwell

Mid the plea­sures no mor­tal can tell

In the place our dear Sav­ior

Has gone to pre­pare

Blessèd home­land

dear home­land

Sweet home of the soul.

The friends that we love

Who have gone on before

Now wait for our com­ing

On yon­der bright shore

Where day nev­er fades

Tears may fall nev­er­more

Blessèd home­land

dear home­land

Sweet home of the soul.

O home­land

dear home­land!

Tho’ eye hath not seen

And some­times the sha­do­wy

Clouds in­ter­vene

Thy light we’ll be­hold

And thy pas­tures so green

Blessèd home­land

dear home­land

Sweet home of the soul.
