’Tis the home of the blest;
Where with Jesus, a glorified band,
They forever shall rest.
Refrain:
Oh, that beautiful, beautiful land
Is for you and for me!
There to be with the glorified band,
Oh, how sweet it will be!
2 In that land is the city of light,
Bright and fair, we are told:
All its mansions are dazzling and white,
And its streets are of gold. [Refrain]
3 There’s no need of the sun in that land,
For the Lamb is its light;
And He sits at His Father’s right hand,
Crowned with glory and might. [Refrain]
4 Oh, how glorious and sweet it must be,
In that peaceful abode!
Where from sin and from misery free,
We shall dwell with our God! [Refrain]
5 There we hope many loved ones to meet,
And in tender embrace
We in triumph each other shall greet,
In that beautiful place. [Refrain]
6 When we get to that home of the blest,
From all pain to be free,
And with Jesus forever to rest,
Oh, how sweet it will be. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HOME OF THE BLEST Text Sources: Hymns and Tunes (Elhart, IN: Mennonite Publishing, 1890)
