Our Other Home

lyricist: Mildred Merle, 1889
Composer: Charles Pollock

It lies be­yond earth’s vi­sion

Beyond the star­ry sky

Beyond the ra­di­ant sun­set

We’ll reach it by and by.

Our home

sweet home

Our home

sweet home

Beyond the star­ry sky;

Our home

sweet home

Our hap­py home

We’ll reach it by and by.

’Tis in a gold­en ci­ty

Fair city of the blest

Within its walls of jas­per

Earth’s wea­ry toil­ers rest.

The tree of life is grow­ing

In rich lux­ur­iance there;

The stream of life is flow­ing

So crys­tal­line and fair.

Bright crowns of life are waiti­ng

In man­sions far ab­ove

There gold­en harps are tun­ing

The sweet­est songs of love.

There will be ev­ery trea­sure

Our hearts on earth may share;

Then with what bliss­ful plea­sure

Shall we en­joy them there.
