Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.
Refrain:
Somewhere, somewhere,
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. [Refrain]
3 Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open gate;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels wait. [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; God Eternity and Power; Heaven Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Languages: English Tune Title: BEAUTIFUL ISLE
