The Homeland of My Soul

Verse 1

Beyond the dusky ocean, Where solemn waters roll, There is a country glad and bright, The homeland of my soul.

Chorus

O homeland, dear homeland, O happy sinless shore; Beyond the tide I shall abide, Safe there forevermore.

Verse 2

Beyond the shadows falling, So soon on life’s brief day, My soul shall pass into a light, That never fades away.

Verse 3

Beyond the pain and sorrow, Which often comes to me, My soul shall have a peace divine, Thro’ all eternity.
