Composer:Barney E. Warren

903. Beautiful

1 Beautiful robes so white,
Beautiful land of light,
Beautiful home so bright,
Where there shall come no night;
Beautiful crown I’ll wear,
Shining with stars o’er there,
Yonder in mansions fair,
Gather us there.

Refrain:
Beautiful robes,
Beautiful land,
Beautiful home,
Beautiful band;
Beautiful crown,
Shining so fair;
Beautiful mansion bright,
Gather us there.

2 Beautiful thought to me,
We shall forever be
Thine in eternity,
When from this world we’re free;
Free from its toil and care,
Heavenly joys to share,
Let me cross over there,
This is my prayer. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful things on high,
Over in yonder sky,
Thus I shall leave this shore,
Counting my treasures o’er;
Where we shall never die,
Carry me, by and by,
Never to sorrow more,
Heavenly store. [Refrain]
