Lyrics

In that beau­ti­ful home ov­er there,
Where the flow­ers shall fade ne­ver­more;
There the sun ev­er shines bright and fair,
On the banks of the pear­ly white shore.

Refrain

In that home ov­er there,
In that beau­ti­ful home ov­er there,
We will shine as the stars ev­er­more,
In that beau­ti­ful home ov­er there.

We will sing in that beau­ti­ful home,
When the robe and the crown we shall wear,
And the King in His beau­ty be­hold
On His throne with the an­gels so fair.

Refrain

To our boun­ti­ful Giv­er above,
All ar­rayed in His splen­dor so fair;
We will sing ev­er­more of His love,
When we meet in that home ov­er there.
