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.

O beautiful, beautiful country! Bright region of glory above, O soon may I enter thy portals To dwell with the Savior I love.

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.

O beautiful, beautiful country! Bright region of glory above, O soon may I enter thy portals To dwell with the Savior I love.
