Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #46 (1867) First Line: We are going home, we've had visions bright Refrain First Line: Beautiful world! Beautiful world! Lyrics: 1 We are going home, we've had visions bright Of that holy land, that world of light; Where the long, dark night of time is past, And the morn eternal dawns at last. Where the weary saint no more shall roam, But dwell in a happy, peaceful home. Where the brow with sparkling gems is crowned, And the waves of bliss are flowing round. Chorus: Beautiful world! Beautiful world! Beautiful world! O, that beautiful world! 2 We are going home, and we soon shall be Where the sky is clear and all are free; Where the victor's song floats o'er the plains, Where the seraphs' anthems blend with its strains; Where the sun pours down its brilliant flood, And beams on a world that's fair and good; Where the stars, once dimmed at nature's doom. Will ever shine o'er the new earth's bloom. [Chorus] 3 'Mid the ransomed throng, 'mid the sea of bliss, 'Mid the holy city's gorgeousness, 'Mid the verdant plains, 'mid the angels' cheer, 'Mid the saints that round the throne appear; Where the conqueror's song, as it sounds afar, Is wafted on the ambrosial air; Through the endless years we then shall prove The riches of a Savior's love. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are going home, we've had visions bright]

Person Name: Unknown Composer of "BEAUTIFUL HOME" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
