Beyond the Allegheny mountains
The land Of smiling fields and foun.aias
Where ripping streamlets play,
vast and swelling population
Far from their child hoods habiasoo.
And from the lovei ones at homo.
Chorus-How oft their fearful eyes are turning,
Where eer they ram,
Back to the seats of grace and learning
That blessed the loved ones at home.
How they recall the days of gadness,
When they were young
When free from trouble, and sadness,
The praise Of God they sung:
When they we're best with faithful preachers
OF Gods own truth,
And, in the Sabbath school, with teachers
To gnide their early youth
Chorus-But now no Sabbath bell invites them
To Gods blest dome
No cheerful Sabbath school delights them,
As with the loved once at home.

Bear tidings of the new crea, lou

Until to every son and daughter
