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.
CHORUS
That blissful place is my fatherland,
By faith its delights I explore;
Come, favour my flight, angelic band,
And waft me in peace to the shore.
There is a place where the angels dwell,
A pure and a peaceful abode -
The joys of that place no tongue can tell,
But there is the palace of God.
That blissful place, &c.
There is a place where my friends are gone,
Who suffered and worshipped with me;
Exalted with Christ, high on his throne,
The King in his beauty they see.
That blissful place, &c.
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, &c.
