The New Praiseworthy ‎#115

115. Beautiful Isle

1 Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.

Chorus:
Somewhere, Somewhere,
(Somewhere, beautiful, beautiful Isle)
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew, -
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!

2 Somewhere the day is longer,
Somewhere the task is done;
Somewhere the heart is stronger,
Somewhere the guerdon won. [Chorus]

3 Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open gate;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels wait. [Chorus]
