Here it is, after mistening about ten more times and correcting my initial errors:
THAT BEAUTIFUL HOMELAND
as sung by Larry Moses
County Rowan, KY, U.S. America
Far beyond the fleecy clouds is my Homeland
That fair land never seen by mortal eye,
And I'm only passing through on a journey
For my home is far beyond the starry sky!
CHORUS:
Oh that Homeland! Beautiful Homeland!
Ageless land of pure delight, where the angels walk in white!
Oh that Homeland! Beautiful Homeland!
Soon on pinions I'll arise, and soar to thee!
Oft times here I see this Earth, clothed in beauty,
Flow'rs and blossems all around me as I roam;
But it never can compare with my Homeland!
Farewell, Earth! In the evening I am going Home!
Chorus
Oft times here, I grow homesick, and I wonder
Oh, Why that I'am asked to wait so long?
(Oh, Why must the master wait so long?)
For I long to hear the harps of the angels,
And I long to hear the saints break forth in song!
Chorus
(recording by Larry Moses)
