74. Multitudes, Multitudes

1 Beyond, just beyond the dark shadows of time,
A beautiful home, bright, beautiful home,
Stands blissful and radiant, in fair Summer-clime,
Our beautiful, beautiful home.

Refrain:
Multitudes, multitudes gathering there,
Numberless, numberless, spotless and fair,
Many the mansions our Lord will prepare,
O beautiful, beautiful home!

2 These earthly reunions are fleeting at best,
That beautiful home, bright, beautiful home,
Invites us to seek an eternity blest,
Our beautiful, beautiful home. [Refrain]

3 Its flowers, pure and fadeless, no winter will blight,
That beautiful home, bright, beautiful home,
No sin there, nor sorrow, no parting, no night,
Our beautiful, beautiful home. [Refrain]

4 Then onward, press on in the blood-sprinkled way;
That beautiful home, bright, beautiful home
Will open its bright, pearly portals some day,
O beautiful, beautiful home. [Refrain]
