LyicsThe Bi-ble re-veals a Glorious Land,
Where an-gels and pu-ri-fied spir-its dwell,
Where pleasures ne'er end at God's right hand,
And anthems of praises for-ev-er swell.
CHO.- In that Glo-rious Land, what a hap-py band!
Ere long we shall stand, and sing with them,
In the Cit-y of God, Je-ru-sa-lem.
Outgushing beneath the throne of God,
And the blest Lamb at his right hand,
Thence runneth the crystal stream of life,
A fountain of joy in that Glorious Land.-CHO.
In th' midst of the street on either side,
The tree of life, arching the way, o'ershades,
With health-giving foliage far and wide-
No sickness this Glo-ri-ous Land invades.-CHO.
Twelve manner of fruits hang pendent there,
And they who partake shall never die:
With Jesus they dwell, and ever share
The joys of that Glo-ri-ous Land on high.-CHO.
Th' afflictions of life are brief and light,
While faith looks beyond the dark Jordan's strand,
Where splendidly shine the mansions bright,
Which Jesus prepares in that Glorious Land.-CHO.
Then come, my dear brethren, let us haste
To finish our work with unfaltering hand,
And soon the sweet joys of heaven we'll taste,
With all the redeemed, in that Glorious Land.-CHO.
