300. There Is a Home Eternal

1 There is a home eternal,
Beautiful and bright,
Where sweet joys supernal
Never are dimmed by night;
White-robed angels are singing
Ever around the bright throne;
When, O when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home?

Chorus:
Home, beautiful home!
Bright, beautiful home!
Bright home of our Savior,
Bright Beautiful home!

2 Flowers are ever springing
In that home so far;
Little children singing
Praises to Jesus there.
How they swell the glad anthem
Ever around the bright throne;
When, O when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home? [Chorus]

3 Soon shall I join the ransomed,
Far beyond the sky;
Christ is my salvation,
Why should I fear to die?
Soon my eyes shall behold Him
Seated upon the bright throne;
Then, O then shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home! [Chorus]
