LyicsWe are going home, we've had visions bright
Of that holy land, that world of light,
Where the weary saint no more shall roam,
But dwell in a happy, peaceful home.
Where the brow with sparkling gems is crown'd,
And the waves of bliss are flowing round.
Beautiful world! Beautiful world!
Beautiful world! O that beautiful world!
We are going home, and we soon shall be
Where the sky is clear, and all are free;
Where the victor's song floats o'er the plains,
And the seraph's anthems blend with its strains;
Where the sun pours down its brilliant flood,
And beams on a world that's fair and good.
Where the stars once dimm'd, at nature's doom,
Will ever shine o'er the new earth's bloom.
Beautiful world! Beautiful world!
Beautiful world! O that beautiful world!
Mid the ransom'd throng, mid the sea of bliss,
Mid the holy city's gorgeousness;
Mid the verdant plains, mid the angel's cheer,
Mid the saints that round the throne appear;
Where the conqueror's song, as it sounds afar,
Is wafted on the ambrosial air;
Thro' the endless years we then shall prove
The riches of a Saviour's love.
Beautiful world! Beautiful world!
Beautiful world! O that beautiful world!
