Sheet music
- 1I will sing you a song of that beautiful land,The far away home of the soul,Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand,While the years of eternity roll,While the years of eternity roll;Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand,While the years of eternity roll.
- 2O, that home of the soul, in my visions and dreams,Its bright jasper walls I can see,Till I fancy but thinly the veil intervenesBetween the fair city and me,Between the fair city and me;Till I fancy but thinly the veil intervenesBetween the fair city and me.
- 3That unchangeable home is for you and for me,Where Jesus of Nazareth stands;The King of all kings O, someday we shall see,And He holdeth our crowns in His hands,And He holdeth our crowns in His hands;The King of all kings, O, someday we shall see,And He holdeth our crowns in His hands.
