Beautiful valley of Eden,

by William Orcutt Cushing (1823–1902)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 550 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Beautiful valley of Eden, Sweet is thy noontide calm; Over the hearts of the weary, Breathing thy waves of balm.

Refrain

Beautiful valley of Eden, Home of the pure and blest, How often amid the wild billows I dream of thy rest, sweet rest!

Verse 2

Over the heart of the mourner Shineth the golden day, Wafting the songs of the angels Down from the far away.

Verse 3

There is the home of my Saviour; There, with the blood-washed throng, Over the highlands of glory Rolleth the great new song.
