Our Fatherland
Words: Fanny J. Crosby
Music: Jno. R. Sweney
Hymn #:80

Our Fatherland, thy name so dear
Our souls repeat while strangers here;
And oh, how oft we sigh for thee,
Our Fatherland beyond the see.

Chorus
Our Fatherland, dear Fatherland
We long to press thy golden strand
And hail the bright and shining
We long to press,
we long to press thy golden strand

Above the stars, above the skies,
Thy tow'ring hills majestic rise;
Thy sunny fields with verdure glow,
And fadeless flowers in beauty grow

There Jesus reigns, our Savior-King,
And one by one his own will bring,
Thy songs to join, thy bliss to share,
O Fatherland, our Zion fair.

No tears shall dim, no pain destroy
The light of peace, the smile of joy;
No more we'll clasp the parting hand
Within thy gates, our Fatherland.
