Thread Name: Lyr Req: That Beautiful Homeland (from Larry Moses
Subject: Lyr Add: THAT BEAUTIFUL HOMELAND (from Larry Moses
I don't live in Rowan County, I live in Indiana just across the river from Boone County KY. When I joined I had to add the M to Bubba cause there is already a Bubba and there is already a Larry so I stuck with BubbaM. These are the words to the song as I sing it, as I remember them.


Beautiful Homeland, That

as sung by Larry Moses,
Indiana, 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 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
