94. Beautiful Home

1 There is a home eternal,
Beautiful and bright,
Where sweet joys supernal
Never are dim'd by night;
White-robed angels are singing
Ever around the bright throne;
When, oh, when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home.

Chorus:
Home, beautiful home,
Bright, beautiful home,
Home, home of our Savior,
Bright, beautiful home.

2 Flowers for ever are springing
In that home so fair,
Thousands of children are singing
Praises to Jesus there;
How they swell the glad anthem
Ever around the bright throne;
When, oh, when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home. [Chorus]

3 Soon shall I join that anthem
Far beyond the sky,
Jesus became my ransom,
Why should I fear to die;
Soon my eyes shall behold him
Seated upon the bright throne;
Then, oh, then shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home. [Chorus]
