LyicsTHERE is a place where my hopes are stayed,
My heart and my treasure are there:
Where verdure and blossoms never fade,
And fields are eternally fair.
That blissful place is my father-land;
By faith its delights I explore:
Come, favor my flight, angelic band,
And waft me in peace to the shore.
There is a place, where the angels dwell,
A pure and peaceful abode;
The joys of that place, no tongue can tell-
But there is the place of God!
There is a place, where my friends are gone,
Who suffer'd and worshipp'd with me;
Exalted with Christ, high on his throne,
The King in his beauty they see.
There is a place, where I hope to live,
When life and its labors are o'er;
A place, which the Lord to me will give,
And then I shall sorrow no more.
That blissful place is my father-land;
By faith its delights I explore;
Come, favor my flight, angelic band,
And waft me in peace to the shore.
