Lyics

THERE is a land, a happy land,

Where tears are wiped away

From every eye by God's own hand,

And night is turn'd to day.--CHO.



Chorus.--O come, angel band,

	Come, and around me stand;

	O bear me away on your snowy wings 

	To my immortal home.



There is a home, a happy home,

Where way-worn trav'lers rest;

Where toil and languor never come,

And every mourner's blest.--CHO.



There is a crown, a dazzling crown,

Bedeck'd with jewels fair,

And priests and kings of high renown

That crown of glory wear.--CHO.
