LyicsBeau-ti-ful val-ley of E-den,
Sweet is thy noon-tide calm,
O-ver the hearts of the wea-ry,
Breath-ing thy waves of balm.
REF.-Beau-ti-ful val-ley of E-den,
Home of the pure and blest,
How often amid the wild billows
I dream of thy rest-sweet rest!
Over the heart of the mourner
Shineth thy golden day
Wafting the songs of the angels
Down from the far-away.-REF.
There is the home of my Saviour;
There, with the blood-washed throng,
Over the highlands of glory
Rolleth the great new song.-REF.
