1 There's a beautiful place for you and for me,
We homeless shall be nevermore;
For a mansion prepared by Jesus I see,
And he is the Way and the Door.
Refrain:
Beautiful home! beautiful home!
Singing its story I tell,
O enter, my soul, no longer to roam,
Forever with Jesus to dwell.
2 And I need not look off to find the dear place,
O'er Jordan's dark rolling away;
For he calleth me nigh, and shows me his face,
And bids me be welcome to-day. [Refrain]
3 I shall enter his house and find him, I know,
In doing the will of his word;
In my heavenly home, begun here below,
I'll dwell evermore with my Lord. [Refrain]

Lyrics--
Beautiful Christmas
Beyond This Land of Parting
Footprints of Jesus
Gathering Home
Hark, the Gentle Voice
Kingdom Is Coming, The
Loved One, Farewell
Once o’er Judea’s Hills by Night
Over Jordan
Tell It Again
Ten Virgins, The
There’s a Fountain Free
Who at My Door Is Standing?
