Oh, It Is Beautiful

lyricist: George Beard, 1900
Composer: Franklin Butts

Beautiful ci­ty

the home of the blest

Beautiful man­sions where wea­ry shall rest

Beautiful riv­er of life

nev­er old

Beautiful streets of the pur­est of gold.

Oh

it is beau­ti­ful! Eye hath not seen

Neither hath ear heard the heav­en­ly theme;

Oh

it is beau­ti­ful! All I have seen

Thrilling my soul with the heav­en­ly theme.

Beautiful an­gels around the white throne

Beautiful child­ren for­ev­er our own

Beautiful saint­ed

en­robed in pure white

Beautiful Sav­ior

re­ful­gent with light.

Beautiful serv­ice of wor­ship in song

Beautiful fa­mi­ly—per­fect­ly one

Beautiful har­mo­ny—liv­ing in love

Beautiful scenes that await us above.

Beautiful greet­ing when friend meet­eth friend

Beautiful meet­ing that nev­er shall end

Beautiful day

with no sha­dow of night

Beautiful vi­sion

eter­nal­ly bright.
