Our Homeland
Author: A. B. Kendall Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Just beyond life’s purpling twilight Refrain First Line: Blessed homeland, heavenly homeland Lyrics: 1 Just beyond life’s purpling twilight,
And its sunset gates of gold,
Lies a land of wondrous beauty,
Full of joy and peace untold.
Refrain:
Blessed homeland, heavenly homeland,
Just beyond earth’s darkest night,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
And the skies are ever bright.
2 Just beyond life’s moaning surges,
And its billows’ ceaseless roll,
Hidden from our earth-dimmed vision,
Lies the homeland of the soul. [Refrain]
3 And tho’ hidden by the shadows,
Glorious sunshine sometimes falls,
Radiant gleams of Heaven’s splendor,
From its jeweled jasper walls. [Refrain]
4 Just beyond our weary watching,
Just beyond our doubts and fears,
Just beyond our hopes and longings,
Just beyond our pain and tears. [Refrain]
5 Just beyond the curtain lifting,
We shall see the glittering towers,
Of that distant longed for haven,
In God’s summerland of flowers. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HILVERSUM Text Sources: White Wings, by Curtis V. Strickland and T. H. Osborn (Huntington, Inc: C. V. Strickland, 1896)
