Home of the Soul

Author: Mrs. Ellen M. H. Gates Hymnal: Christ in Song #919 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: I will sing you a song of that beautiful land Lyrics: 1. I will sing you a song of that beautiful land, The far away home of the soul, Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll, While the years of eternity roll; Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll. 2. O, that home of the soul! in my visions and dreams Its bright, jasper walls I can see, Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me, Between the fair city and me; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3. That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stand; The King of all kingdoms forever, is he, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands; The King of all kingdoms forever, is He, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands. 4. O, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain; With song on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again! To meet one another again! With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again. Languages: English Tune Title: [I will sing you a song of that beautiful land]

How Far From Home?

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: Christ in Song #845 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: How far from home! I asked, as on Lyrics: 1. How far from home? I asked, as on I bent my steps--the watchman spake: "The long, dark night is almost gone, The morning soon will break. Then weep no more, but speed thy flight, With Hope's bright star thy guiding ray, Till thou shalt reach the realms of light, In everlasting day." 2. I asked the warrior on the field: This was his soul-inspiring song: "With courage, bold, the sword I'll wield, The battle is not long. Then weep no more, but well endure The conflict, till thy work is done; For this we know, the prize is sure, When victory is won." 3. I asked again; earth, sea, and sun Seemed, with one voice, to make reply: "Time's wasting sands are nearly run, Eternity is nigh. Then weep no more--with warning tones Portentious signs are thick'ning round, The whole creation, waiting, groans, To hear the trumpet sound." 4. Not far from home! O blessed thought! The trav'ler's lonely heart to cheer; Which oft a healing balm has brought, And dried the mourner's tear. Then weep no more, since we shall meet Where weary footsteps never roam Or trials past, our joys complete, Safe in our Father's home. Languages: English Tune Title: [How far from home?
