Home of the Soul

Ellen M. H. Gates • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 137:3

Verse 1

I will sing you a song of that beautiful land, The far away home of the soul; Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll.

Chorus

While the years of eternity roll. While the years of eternity roll, Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll.

Verse 2

Oh, that home of the soul in my visions and dreams, Its bright jasper walls I can see; Till I fancy but thinly the vale intervenes Between the fair city and me.

Chorus

While the years of eternity roll. While the years of eternity roll, Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll.

Verse 3

That unchangable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands; The King of all kingdoms forever, is He, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands.

Chorus

While the years of eternity roll. While the years of eternity roll, Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll.

Verse 4

Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain; With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands To meet one another again.

Chorus

While the years of eternity roll. While the years of eternity roll, Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll.
