The homeland! the homeland!
Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #580 (1917) Topics: Homeland, the ; Homeland, the Lyrics: 1 The homeland! the homeland!
The land of the freeborn;
There's no night in the homeland,
But aye the fadeless morn:
I'm sighing for the homeland,
My heart is aching here;
There's no pain in the homeland,
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
There's no sin in the homeland,
And no temptation there:
The voices of the homeland
Are ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the homeland,
My eyes are filled with tears.
3 For those I love in the homeland
Are calling me away,
To the rest and peace of the homeland
And the life beyond decay;
For there's no death in the homeland,
There is no grief above;
Christ brings us all to the homeland
Of His eternal love! Languages: English Tune Title: THE HOMELAND

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]

Above the clouds, the fogs and mists of earth;

Can see its walls, or hear its holy mirth.

Beyond our sight, beyond our night,
Beyond this world’s sad story;
That city bright, it stands in light,
The home of all the holy.

By Christ the Lamb for all the blood-wash’d throng,
Gleams fair and bright, with golden glory gilded,
For ever thrilling with triumphant song. [Refrain]
3 There, on the throne, the Lamb, once slain is seated,
The Shepherd’s joy upon His holy face;
While countless hosts, their warfare all completed,
In circling bands, lift ceaseless songs of praise. [Refrain]
4 O sor’wing souls, beneath earth’s burdens bending,
Lift up your eyes to yonder city fair;
And thro’ your tears let praise be still ascending
For rest, and home, and loved ones waiting there. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Beyond our sight a city four square lieth]

Till the holy angels ope the pearly gate;

No Shadows Yonder!
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #61 (1904) Topics: Heaven and Homeland First Line: No shadows yonder Lyrics: 1 No shadows yonder!
All light and song!
Each day I wonder,
And say, How long
Shall time me sunder
From that dear throng?

From that dear throng?

All fled away!
While here I wander,
Each weary day,
I sigh and ponder
My long, long stay;
I sigh and ponder
My long, long stay.
3 No parting yonder!
No space or time
Hearts e’er shall sunder,
In that fair clime,
Dearer and fonder—
Friendship sublime,
Dearer and fonder—
Friendship sublime.
4 None wanting yonder!
Bought by the Lamb,
All gathered under
The shelt’ring palm,
Loud as night's thunder
Swells the glad psalm;
Loud as night's thunder
Swells the glad psalm. Tune Title: [No shadows yonder, all light and song]
No Shadows Yonder!

And our faith-strengthen’d vision discerns
