LyicsHAVE you heard, have you heard of that heav'nly clime,
Undimm'd by sorrow, unhurt by time;
Where age hath no power o'er the fadeless frame-
Where the eye is fire, and the heart is flame-
Have you heard of that heav'nly clime?
A river of water gushes there,
'Mid flowers of beauty strangely fair,
And a thousand wings are hovering o'er
The dazz'ling wave and the golden shore,
That are seen in that heav'nly clime.
Millions of forms, all cloth'd in bright,
In garments of beauty clear and white-
They dwell in their own immortal bowers,
'Mid fadeless hues of countless flowers,
That bloom in that heav'nly clime.
Ear hath not heard, and eye hath not seen,
Their swelling songs and their changeless sheen,
Their ensigns are waving, their banners unfurl'd,
O'er jasper walls and gates of pearl,
That are fix'd in that heav'nly clime.
But far, far away in that sinless clime,
Undimm'd by sorrow, unhurt by time;
Where amid all things that's fair is given,
The home of just-and its name is Heaven,
The name of that heav'nly clime.
