O Homeland! O Homeland!
No Lonely Heart Is There,
No Rush Of Blinding Anguish,
No Slowly Dropping Tear:
Now, Like An Infant Crying
Its Mother’s Face To See,
O Blessed, Blessed Homeland
I Stretch My Arms To Thee!
O Homeland! O Homeland!
Whose Joy No Tongue Can Tell,
No Sighing Of The Weary,
No More The Sad Farewell;
But Sound Of Children’s Voices,
And Shout Of Saintly Song,
Are Heard Thy Happy Highways
And Golden Streets Along
O Homeland! O Homeland!
The Veil Is Very Thin
That Stretches Thy Fair Meadows
And This Cold World Between;
A Breath Aside May Blow It,
A Heart-Throb Burst It Through,
And Bring, In One Glad Moment,
The Pearly Gates In View
O Homeland! O Homeland!
One Chief Of All Thy Band.
One Altogether Lovely,
One Lord Of All The Land.
Now Standeth At Thy Portals
To Welcome There His Bride;
And Resting On His Bosom,
I Shall Be Satisfied.
