MHB 466 – MY soul, there is a country

Methodist-Hymns-466

1:  MY soul, there is a country
far beyond the stars,
where stands a winged sentry
all skillful in the wars.

2:  There above noise, and danger,
sweet peace sits crowned with smiles,
and One born in a manger
commands the beauteous files.

3:  He is thy gracious Friend,
and – O my soul, awake!
did in pure love descend,
to die here for thy sake.

4:  If thou canst get but thither,
there grows the flower of peace,
the Rose that cannot wither,
thy fortress and thy ease.

5:  Leave then thy foolish ranges,
for none can thee secure
but one who never changes,
thy God, thy life, thy cure.
