The far away home of the soul;
Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand,
While the years of eternity roll.
Refrain:
While the years of eternity roll.
While the years of eternity roll,
Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand,
While the years of eternity roll.
2. Oh, that home of the soul in my visions and dreams,
Its bright jasper walls I can see;
Till I fancy but thinly the vale intervenes
Between the fair city and me.
3. That unchangable home is for you and for me,
Where Jesus of Nazareth stands;
The King of all kingdoms forever, is He,
And He holdeth our crowns in His hands.
4. Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain;
With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands
To meet one another again.
