Speeding away o’er the river of time,
Where the sweet bells of eternity chime;
Speeding away to the Eden above,
Fill’d with the fullness of rapture and love.
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
In thy green pastures the weary shall rest:
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
Home of the glorified, home of the blest.
Speeding away to the valley of song,
Speeding away to a glorified throng;
Sweeping the cords of their harps while say sing,
Glory to Jesus our Saviour and King.
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
In thy green pastures the weary shall rest:
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
Home of the glorified, home of the blest.
Speeding away, to be severed no more,
Speeding away to the evergreen shore;
There in their garments of beauty arrayed,
Flowers are blooming that never shall fade.
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
In thy green pastures the weary shall rest:
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
Home of the glorified, home of the blest.
Speeding away, we are speeding away,
On to the region of infinite day;
Only a veil to be lifted, and then,
Oh, what a meeting with dear ones again!
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
In thy green pastures the weary shall rest:
Beautiful land, Beautiful land,
Home of the glorified, home of the blest.
