The homeland of the soul. [Refrain]

Soon, soon our happy hearts shall sing,
The glad triumphant song. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Beyond the silent stars of night]

Where the river of life floweth free;
And a touch of the joy that is ringing up there,
Falleth softly on you and on me.

There is joy in the presence of angels tonight,
There is rapture to mortals untold;
For the Father and Shepherd in heaven rejoice,
Over one who returns to the fold.

That the angels are singing tonight;
For we know that the low-lands of earth have a place,
In the thoughts of the dwellers in light. [Refrain]

As in sin and in sorrow we stray;
For we know there is rapturous joy in the skies,
When a lost one returns to the Way. [Refrain]

And our faith-strengthen’d vision discerns
How the heavenly city is thrilling with joy,
Over one who repents and returns. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There is rapture tonight in yon city so fair]

Only a River Between Us
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #24 (1904) Topics: Heaven and Homeland Lyrics: 1 Only a river between us,
Parting dear ones awhile;
Only a vail that divides us,—
Hiding the light of their smile;
Only a sigh and a struggle,
Only a moment of pain;
Then, mid the splendors of Eden,
We shall behold them again.
2 Only a place that is vacant,
When to our Saviour we bend;
Only a strain that is missing,
When our devotions we blend;
Only a voice, and a footstep,
Only a clasp of the hand,
Drawing us onward and upward,
Home to the bright promised land.
3 Tho’ ‘neath the clods of the valley,
Forms that we cherish may sleep;
God has commissioned His angels,
Watch o’er our loved ones to keep.
Only the leaves of the vine-tree,
Wither and languish and die;
God hath transplanted its branches,
Garnered its fruits in the sky.
4 Only a moment of anguish,
When at the Jordan we part;
Only a silver cord broken,
Hushing each throb of the heart;
After the storm, ‘twill be sunshine,
After our labor, repose;
Then we shall meet where the morning,
Never, no never will close. Tune Title: [Only a river between us]
Only a River Between Us

Author: Mrs. Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #33 (1904) Topics: Heaven and Homeland First Line: In the fadeless springtime, on the heav’nly shore Refrain First Line: By the gate they'll meet us Lyrics: 1 In the fadeless springtime, on the heav’nly shore,
Kindred spirits wait us, who have gone before;
There no flowers wither, and no pleasures cloy,
In that land of beauty, in that home of joy.
Refrain:
By the gate they’ll meet us,
‘Neath that golden sky,
Meet us at the portal—
Meet us by and by.
2 In the misty gloaming, death awaits us all;
Silent is his coming, sure the Master’s call;
And the angel-footsteps mark the upward way,
Till the twilight merges into heav’nly day. [Refrain]
3 Trusting in the Saviour, may we humbly wait
Till the holy angels ope the pearly gate;
And the loving Father, from His gracious throne,
Smiling bids us welcome to our heav’nly home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the fadeless springtime]
In the fadeless Spring-time

The Land Beyond the Sea!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #129 (1904) Topics: Heaven and Homeland Lyrics: 1 The Land beyond the Sea!
How close it sometimes seems,
When flush’d with evening’s peaceful gleams;
My heart looks o’er the strait, and dreams!
It longs to fly to thee,
Calm Land beyond the Sea!
2 The Land beyond the Sea!
Sometimes across the strait,
Like draw-bridge to a castle gate,
The sunbeams lie and seem to wait
For us to pass to thee,
Calm Land beyond the Sea!
3 The Land beyond the Sea!
When will our toil be done?
Slow-footed years! more swiftly run
Into the gold of th’unsetting sun.
Homesick we are for thee,
Calm Land beyond the Sea!
4 O Land beyond the Sea!
Sweet is thine endless rest,
But sweeter far that Father’s breast,
Upon thy shores fore’er possest;
For Jesus reings o’er thee,
Calm Land beyond the Sea! Tune Title: [The land beyond the sea]
The Land Beyond the Sea!
