[Verse 1]
Oh the West Virginia hills
How majestic and how grand
With their summits bathed in glory
Like our Prince Immanuel's Land
Is it any wonder then that my heart with rapture thrills
As I stand once more with loved ones
On those West Virginia hills
[Chorus]
Oh the hills, beautiful hills
How I love those West Virginia hills
If o'er sea or land I roam still I'll think of happy home
And my friends among the West Virginia hills
[Verse 2]
Oh the West Virginia hills where my childhood hours were passed
Where I often wandered lonely and the future tried to cast
Many are our visions bright which the future ne'er fulfills
But how sunny were my daydreams on those West Virginia hills
[Chorus]
Oh the hills, beautiful hills
How I love those West Virginia hills
If o'er sea or land I roam still I'll think of happy home
And my friends among the West Virginia hills
[Verse 3]
Oh the West Virginia hills how unchanged they seem to stand
With their summits pointed skyward to the great Almighty's Land
Many changes I can see, which my heart with sadness fills
But no changes can be noticed in those West Virginia hills
[Chorus]
Oh the hills, beautiful hills
How I love those West Virginia hills
If o'er sea or land I roam still I'll think of happy home
And my friends among the West Virginia hills
[Verse 4]
Oh the West Virginia hills I must bid you now adieu
In my home beyond the mountains I shall ever dream of you
In the evening time of life, if my Father only wills
I shall still behold the vision of those West Virginia hills
[Chorus]
Oh the hills, beautiful hills
How I love those West Virginia hills
If o'er sea or land I roam still I'll think of happy home
And my friends among the West Virginia hills
