O, let us exalt our dear Lord and proclaim,
In songs of true gratitude, praise to His name!
As songs of the angels in sweetest accord,
Our thanks and our praises shall rise to the Lord.

Lyrics
Gliding o'er life's fitful waters
Heavy surges sometimes roll;
And we sigh for yonder haven,
For the Homeland of the soul.

Oft we catch a faint reflection
Of its bright and vernal hills;
And, tho' distant, how we hail it!
How each heart with rapture thrills.

To our Father, and our Saviour,
To the Spirit, Three in One,
We shall sing glad songs of triumph
When our harvest work is done.

'Tis the weary pilgrim's Homeland,
Where each throbbing care shall cease,
And our longings and our yearnings,
Like a wave, be hush'd to peace.

Refrain:
Blessed Homeland, ever fair!
Sin can never enter there.
But the soul, to life awaking,
Everlasting bloom shall wear.
