Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christian Hymns #121 (1935) First Line: What if our bark o'er life's rough wave Refrain First Line: Beautiful home, beautiful home Lyrics: 1 What if our bark o’er life’s rough wave,
By adverse winds be driv’n,
And howling tempests round us roar?--
There are no tears in heav’n.
Refrain:
Beautiful home, beautiful home,
Beautiful home of love!
And they that bear the cross below
Shall wear the crown above.
2 What tho' affliction be our lot,
Our hearts with anguish riv’n!
Still, let it never be forgot--
There are no tears in heav’n. [Chorus]
3 Our sweetest joys here vanish all,
And fade like hues at ev’n;
Our brightest hopes like meteors fall--
There are no tears in heav’n. [Chorus]
4 Thou, God, our joy and rest shall be,
And sorrows far be driv’n;
And sin and death forever flee;--
There are no tears in heav’n. [Chorus]
5 There, from the blooming tree of life,
The healing fruit is giv’n;
There, there shall cease the painful strife;--
There are no tears in heav’n. [Chorus]
