Lyrics
My home is o'er the swelling flood,
Where suns no more descend;
Within the paradise of God,
Where pleasures never end.
My King in beauty there enthroned,
Angelic hosts behold;
And there I hope, with glory crowned,
To walk those streets of gold.
O Star of day! thy holy beams
Pierce thro' the shadows gray;
We hail with joy thy twinkling gleams,
That tell of perfect day:
Soon shall thy glory fill the skies,
Thou Hope of seers and kings;
The Sun of Righteousness shall rise,
With healing in His wings.
O Day of glory! dawn and bring
Creation's second birth;
When morning stars again shall sing
O'er this dark, groaning earth.
When He who said, "Let there be light!"
And all things sprang to view;
Shall speak again that word of might,
"See! I make all things new."
I watch, and pray, and work, and wait,
I weep, I sigh, I sing;
Till I shall pass yon pearly gate,
And gaze upon my King:
I tell the glories of my home,
I sing its mansions fair;
And whosoever will may come,
And have a dwelling there.
Where suns no more descend;
Within the paradise of God,
Where pleasures never end.
My King in beauty there enthroned,
Angelic hosts behold;
And there I hope, with glory crowned,
To walk those streets of gold.
O Star of day! thy holy beams
Pierce thro' the shadows gray;
We hail with joy thy twinkling gleams,
That tell of perfect day:
Soon shall thy glory fill the skies,
Thou Hope of seers and kings;
The Sun of Righteousness shall rise,
With healing in His wings.
O Day of glory! dawn and bring
Creation's second birth;
When morning stars again shall sing
O'er this dark, groaning earth.
When He who said, "Let there be light!"
And all things sprang to view;
Shall speak again that word of might,
"See! I make all things new."
I watch, and pray, and work, and wait,
I weep, I sigh, I sing;
Till I shall pass yon pearly gate,
And gaze upon my King:
I tell the glories of my home,
I sing its mansions fair;
And whosoever will may come,
And have a dwelling there.
