398. Beautiful Valley of Eden

1. Beautiful valley of Eden!
Sweet is thy noontide calm;
Over the heart of the weary,
Breathing thy waves of balm.

Refrain
Beautiful valley of Eden,
Home of the pure and blest,
How often amid the wild billows
I dream of thy rest, sweet rest!

2. Over the heart of the mourner
Shineth thy golden day,
Waiting the songs of the angels
Down from the far away. [Refrain]

3. There is the home of my Savior;
There, with the blood washed throng,
Over the highlands of glory
Rolleth the great new song. [Refrain]
