LyicsThe sun above us gleaming,
Is not the sun for me;
Tho' joyful be his beaming,
And beautiful to see.
There is a Sun of righteousness,
Who cheers and saves me by his grace,
All copious on me streaming,
O! that's the sun for me.
This land of sin and sorrow
Is not the land for me,
Where anguish oft I borrow
From dying company;
Th' imoortal land is far away,
I'll enter it on some bright day,
That day may be tomorrow
O! that's the land for me.
