Representative Text

1 There’s a beau­ti­ful world, with its val­leys of green,
With its ev­er­green mounts and bright ri­vers be­tween;
With its for­ests of shade, and its moss­es and flow­ers,
And its sun­shine and mu­sic to bright­en the hours.

Refrain:
’Tis a beau­ti­ful world in the care of our God,
And the feet of our Sav­ior its path­ways have trod;
’Tis a beau­ti­ful world in the care of our God,
And the feet of our Savior its path­ways have trod;

2 Oh, the beau­ti­ful world, with its star-light­ed dome,
Ever arch­ing with az­ure sweet vine-shad­ed homes;
With its fond hearts of love giv­ing bless­ings so sweet,
And that bright­en the path­ways where wan­der our feet. [Refrain]

3 Oh, the beau­ti­ful world, ’tis the val­ley of time,
And it touches the shore of the hea­ven­ly clime;
And I’ll cling to its beau­ty with ten­der­est love,
Till I’m called to the joy of the sweet home above. [Refrain]
