The Golden Sheaf ‎#50

50. Think of that Home!

1 There is a country just over there,
Teeming with sunshine and beauty rare,
Summer eternal and landscape fair,
It is the heavenly home.

Chorus:
Think of that home! beautiful home,
Pilgrims and strangers tho' here we may roam;
Think of that home! beautiful home,
Think of that heavenly home!

2 There the inhabitants ne'er grow old,
Never shall say, "I am sick," we're told;
There is the city with streets of gold,
It is the heavenly home. [Chorus]

3 There shall they reign with their Lord for aye,
There shall he wipe all their tears away,
When he shall gather his own that day,
Into that heavenly home. [Chorus]

4 They shall rejoice on that golden shore,
There shall their sorrowing all be o'er:
They shall remember earth's woes no more,
In that blest, heavenly home. [Chorus]

5 There shall all tempest and tumult cease,
Strife yield forever to love and peace;
Joy everlasting! O, sweet release!
Welcome, that heavenly home! [Chorus]
