Northfield Hymnal ‎#23

23. Beyond the Stars

1 Beyond the silent stars of night,
There shines a land so fair;
More glorious than the orbs of light,
I’d fain be resting there.

Refrain:
Beyond the silent stars of night,
Into the far away
There is a home of joy and light,
A land of perfect day.

2 Beyond the deep etherial dome,
Our waiting hearts expect
To dwell in that eternal home,
The home of God’s elect. [Refrain]

3 And though on earth we meet no more,
While years of time shall roll;
We’ll meet upon a happier shore,
The homeland of the soul. [Refrain]

4 Then wait we for our blessed King,
He will not tarry long;
Soon, soon our happy hearts shall sing,
The glad triumphant song. [Refrain]
