LyicsThere is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day.
Oh how they sweetly sing,
Worthy is our Lord and King,
Loud let his praises ring
Forevermore.
Come to that happy land,
Come, come away;
Why will you doubting stand,
Why still delay?
Oh, then to glory run,
Be a crown and kingdom won,
And bright above the sun
Reign evermore.
Bright, in that happy land,
Beams ev'ry eye;
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die.
There we shall happy be,
When from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall reign with thee,
Blest evermore.
Oh, how I long to see
Jesus above,
From sin and sorrow free,
Perfect in love.
Oh! then with angels bright,
I shall range the worlds of light,
And in my Saviour's sing
Live evermore.
