526 Home of the Soul. P.M.

The Beautiful Land.

I will sing you a song of that beautiful land,

The far away home of the soul;

Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand,

While the years of eternity roll.

2 Oh, that home of the soul, in my visions and dreams

Its bright jasper walls I can see;

Till I fancy but thinly the veil intervenes

Between the fair city and me.

3 That unchangeable home is for you and for me,

Where Jesus of Nazareth stands,

The King of all kingdoms forever is he,

And he holdeth our crowns in his hands.

4 Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land,

So free from all sorrow and pain;

With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands,

To meet one another again.

Mrs. Ellen H. Gates.
