The far away home of the soul;
Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand,
While the years of eternity roll.
Refrain:
While the years of eternity roll.
While the years of eternity roll,
Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand,
While the years of eternity roll.
2 Oh, that home of the soul in my visions and dreams,
Its bright jasper walls I can see;
Till I fancy but thinly the vale intervenes
Between the fair city and me. [Refrain]
3 That unchangable 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. [Refrain]
4 Oh, 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. [Refrain] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Heaven Future Life Scripture: Philippians 1:23 Languages: English Tune Title: I WILL SING YOU A SONG
