48. Homeland of the Soul

1 A blessed thought comes to my soul,
Over in the heav’nly homeland,
We’ll dwell with Christ while ages roll;
Over in the heav’nly homeland.

Refrain:
Homeland, homeland of the soul,
Blessed home, heav’nly home,
Homeland, Homeland of the soul,
Over in the heav’nly homeland.

2 And there we’ll join the blood-washed throng,
Over in the heav’nly homeland;
To sing the glad Redemption song,
Over in the heav’nly homeland. [Refrain]

3 And when we cross the Jordan’s brink,
Over in the heav’nly homeland;
Oh, there we’ll find each broken link,
Over in the heav’nly homeland. [Refrain]

4 And when around our Father’s throne,
Over in the heav’nly homeland;
Then we shall know as we are known,
Over in the heav’nly homeland. [Refrain]

5 We’ll meet our friends who’ve gone before,
Over in the heav’nly homeland;
Yes, meet and greet to part no more,
Over in the heav’nly homeland. [Refrain]
