The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#873

873. Beautiful land, so bright, so fair

1 Beautiful land, so bright, so fair,
Untold glories linger there,
Crystal rivers and shining strand,
Home of the soldier, beautiful land!

Refrain:
Beautiful home, beautiful home,
Home of the soldier, beautiful, beautiful home.

2 Beautiful theme, the courts above
Echo with redeeming love,
Songs triumphant and music grand,
Home of the soldier, beautiful land!

3 Beautiful prospect, converse sweet,
Kindred souls each other greet;
Blest are thy children, a holy band,
Home of the soldier, beautiful land!

4 Beautiful thought, though earth decay,
Stars grow pale and pass away,
Firmly shall thy foundation stand,
Home of the soldier, beautiful land!
