Lyics

There's a glorious land on high,
Far beyond the starlight sky;
All things there are fair and bright,
Land of beauty, 
Land of beauty,
Land of beauty! land of light!


Living splendor beameth there-
Holy fragrance fills the air-
All is rich with spotless white;
Land of beauty! land of light!


There no angry tempest blows-
No red bolt the thunder throws-
No dread gloom is spread by night:
Land of beauty! land of Light!


There the holy mountains are-
And sweet valleys, stretched afar-
There are rivers, pure and bright;
Land of beauty! land of light!


Radiant verdure decks the ground,
Lovely flowers rejoice around-
All is glorious to the sight:
Land of beauty! land of light!
