LyicsThere is a fold where none can stray,
And pastures ever green,
Where sultry sun, or stormy day,
Or night, is never seen.
Far up the everlasting hills,
In God's own light it lies;
His smile its vast dominion fills
With joy that never dies.
One narrow vale, one darksome wave,
Divides that land from this;
I have a Shepherd pledged to save,
And bear me home to bliss.
Soon at his feet my soul shall lie,
In life's last struggling breath;
But I shall only seem to die,
I shall not taste of death.
Far from this guilty world to be,
Exempt from toil and strife;
To spend eternity with thee-
My Savior, this is life!
