My Soul There Is a Country

Lyrics

My soul, there is a country Far beyond the stars Where stands a wingèd sentry All skilful in the wars: There, above noise and danger Sweet Peace sits crowned with smiles And One, born in a manger Commands the beauteous files He is thy gracious Friend And -- O my soul, awake! -- Did in pure love descend To die here for thy sake If thou canst get but thither There grows the flow'r of Peace The Rosе that cannot wither Thy fortress and thy easе Leave then thy foolish ranges For none can thee secure But One who never changes Thy God, thy life, thy cure
