1 O beautiful land of the blessed,
Where cometh not sorrow or sin;
How happy the day that my spirit
Shall enter thy portals within.
Refrain:
O beautiful, beautiful country!
Bright region of glory above;
O soon may I enter thy portals
To dwell with the Savior I love.
2 Sweet home of the good and the holy,
Blest place of the purest delight;
Where hearts, at the river that parted,
In rapturous joy shall unite. [Refrain]
3 Some day, in that beautiful country,
The song of the ransomed I’ll sing,
When Christ to the heavenly mansion
My glorified spirit shall bring. [Refrain]
