LIRIK: BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE

BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE

Written by Jessie B. Pounds 1897

Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.

Somewhere, somewhere,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open gate;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels wait.

Somewhere, somewhere,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!

NEGERI ELOK KUNANTI
(Terjemahan Sammy Lee)

Surya bersinar cerah, Kicau burung ceria,
Tak perlu susah hati, Tuhan plihara kita.

Sebrang sana, Negri elok menunggu,
Negri Allah yang mulia, Bagi kita disana.

Beban akan terangkat, Pada gerbang surga,
Langit cerah selalu, Malaikat pun menanti.

Sebrang sana, Negri elok menunggu,
Negri Allah yang mulia, Bagi kita disana.
