50b. Beautiful country, pure and blest

1 Beautiful country, pure and blest,
Beautiful Canaan, land of rest;
There we shall meet to part no more,
Our dear ones gone before.

Chorus:
Home of the faithful, lovely, lovely Canaan,
There shall redeeming grace our raptured souls employ;
Home of the faithful, lovely, lovely Canaan,
There shall the ransomed ones return with songs of joy.

2 Beautiful vales in verdure bright,
Beautiful plains of golden light;
Joyfully onward still we roam
To thee our glorious home. [Chorus]

3 Beautiful birds with plumage fair,
Beautiful streams that wander there;
Beautiful land beyond the sky,
Where hope can never die. [Chorus]

4 Beautiful songs the angels sing,
Glory to God our Saviour, King;
Honor and praise to Him be given,
By all on earth and heaven. [Chorus]
