Beautiful Home by Horatio Richmond Palmer — Lyrics
There is a home eternal,
Beautiful and bright,
Where sweet joys supernal
Never are dimmed by night;
Whiterobed angels are singing
Ever around the bright throne;
When, oh, when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful home?
Refrain:
Home, beautiful home,
Bright, beautiful home;
Home, home of our Savior,
Bright, beautiful home.
Flowers forever are springing

About Beautiful Home
Horatio Richmond Palmer composed this hymn, Beautiful Home, for SATB voices. It is a sacred work in the tradition of 19th-century American gospel hymns, expressing a fervent longing for the eternal home of the redeemed. The text paints a vivid picture of heaven as a place of unending joy, angelic choirs, and the presence of Jesus. The lyrics convey a deeply personal yearning for this spiritual destination, asking when the singer will finally be able to behold its beauty and join the heavenly chorus. The refrain reinforces the imagery of a bright, beautiful home, the dwelling place of our Savior, and the ultimate hope for believers.
