261   BEAUTIFUL VALLEY OF EDEN




[V1]


Beautiful valley of Eden,
Sweet is thy noon-tide calm;
Over the hearts of the weary,
Breathing thy waves of balm.

[C]
Beautiful valley of Eden,
Home of the pure and blest
(the pure and blest)
How often amid the wild billows;
I dream of thy rest, sweet rest.

[V2]
Over the heart of the mourner,
Shineth the golden day,
Waiting the songs of the angels,
Down from the far away.

[C]
Beautiful valley of Eden,
Home of the pure and blest
(the pure and blest)
How often amid the wild billows;
I dream of thy rest, sweet rest.

[V3]
There is the home of my Saviour;
There with the blood washed throng;
Over the highlands of glory,
Rolleth the great new song.

[C]
Beautiful valley of Eden,
Home of the pure and blest
(the pure and blest)
How often amid the wild billows;
I dream of thy rest, sweet rest.
