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.
O,
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.
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.
O,
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!
