Text:Beautiful Isle of Somewhere
Author:Jessie Brown Pounds
Tune:[Somewhere the sun is shining]
Composer:J. S. Fearis

69. Beautiful Isle of Somewhere

1 Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.

Chorus:
Somewhere, Somewhere, (Somewhere, beautiful, beautiful Isle,)
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!

2 Somewhere the day is longer,
Somewhere the task is done;
Somewhere the heart is stronger,
Somewhere the guerdon won. [Chorus]

3 Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open gate;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels wait. [Chorus]
