Our souls repeat while strangers here;
And oh, how oft we sigh for thee,
Dear Fatherland, beyond the sea!
Refrain:
Our Fatherland, dear Fatherland,
We long to press thy golden strand,
And hail the bright and shining land,
In thy sweet vales, dear Fatherland!
2 Above the stars above the skies,
Thy towering hills in beauty rise;
Where sunny field with verdure glow,
And fadeless flowers in beauty grow. [Refrain]
3 There Jesus reigns, our Saviour King,
And one by one His own will bring
Thy songs to join, thy bliss to share,
O Fatherland, O Zion fair! [Refrain]
4 No tears shall dim, no pain destroy
the light of peace, the smile of joy;
No more we’ll clasp the parting hand
Within thy gates, our Fatherland. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: [Our Fatherland, thy name so dear]
