GHS 139 : Beautiful Home! Lyrics
GHS 139, “Beautiful Home!,” is a heaven hymn of tender longing for the eternal dwelling place God has prepared for His children. The hymn paints a picture of a home where white-robed angels sing around the bright throne, where flowers bloom without withering, where little children’s praises fill the air, and where night and dimming never come. It is the kind of hymn that speaks most powerfully to those who are weary of earth and find themselves genuinely homesick for a place they have not yet seen.
The closing stanza brings the hope into the present moment: Christ is salvation, and there is nothing to fear in dying, because beyond death lies the Beautiful Home. This hymn appears as number 139 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 139: Beautiful Home!
- There is a home eternal, Beautiful and bright, Where sweet joys supernal Never are dimmed by night; White-robed angels are singing Ever around the bright throne; When, oh, when shall I see thee, Beautiful, beautiful Home?
Home! beautiful Home! Bright, beautiful Home! Bright Home of our Saviour, Bright, beautiful Home!
-
Flowers are ever springing In that Home so fair; Little children singing, Praises to Jesus there. How they swell the glad anthem, Ever around the bright throne! When, oh, when shall I see thee, Beautiful, beautiful Home?
-
Soon shall I join the ransomed, Far beyond the sky; Christ is my salvation, Why should I fear to die? Soon my eyes shall behold Him Seated upon the bright throne; Then, oh, then shall I see thee, Beautiful, beautiful Home.
