There’s a beautiful home where no parting is known,
Just across on the shining shore;
There we’ll meet with the dear ones who from us have gone
And abide with them evermore.
Chorus:
Beautiful home, beautiful home,
Beautiful home whose bliss we shall share,
Beautiful home, beautiful home,
Never again from thy shelter to roam.
In that beautiful home we will wear crowns of life
And no evil can thus molest;
For we’ll be with the Saviour and free from all strife,
In His presence we’ll sweetly rest.
(Chorus)
