|
<p>My soul with rapture waits for thee,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
My home beyond the rolling sea,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
I long to sing thy pleasures o’er,<br>
|
|
The glories of thy tranquil shore,<br>
|
|
Where pain and sorrow come no more—<br>
|
|
Happy vale of rest.</p>
|

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>

|
<p class="refrain">Beautiful vale of rest,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest,<br>
|
|
My soul with rapture longs for thee,<br>
|
|
O! lovely vale of rest.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy radiant fields and glowing skies,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
Too pure and bright for mortal eyes,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
Beside the living stream that flows,<br>
|
|
The weary heart shall find repose—<br>
|
|
Thy pearly gates shall never close,<br>
|
|
Happy vale of rest.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The joys of earth, how soon they fade!<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
Like morning dew or evening shade,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
Yet, when we reach thy golden strand,<br>
|
|
Our gentle Savior’s promised land,<br>
|
|
We’ll sing with all the angel band,<br>
|
|
Happy vale of rest.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O! who would dwell forever here,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
With joy, unfading joy so near,<br>
|
|
Beautiful vale of rest;<br>
|
|
O! may I live that I may wear<br>
|
|
A starry crown forever there,<br>
|
|
And breathe thy sweet and balmy air,<br>
|
|
Happy vale of rest.</p>
