Christ in Song 729
THE HOMELAND DEAR
1The homeland dear we shall see our nation,
But at our longing heart;
That where we shall be,
We rest and partake more.
2The homeland dear we see afar rolling,
The day is set and go;
To the fair our exalted
Our King holds on the love.
3The homeland dear it is of sky,
We rest and partake more;
From deep when a lovely Day
Our King shall be our all.
4And now the best loved part of all,
The homeland dear we shall see;
And in peace that is whither
In thy radiance it should be.
