There is a land, a sunny land
Whose skies are ever bright,
Where evening shadows never fall;
The Saviour is its light,
If the cross
we meekly bear,
Then the crown
we shall wear,
When we dwell,
among the fair,
in the bright forevermore.
There is a clime, a peaceful clime,
Beyond life’s narrow sea,
Where every storm is hushed to rest:
There let our treasure be.
If the cross
we meekly bear,
Then the crown
we shall wear,
When we dwell,
among the fair,
in the bright forevermore.
There is a home, a glorious home,
A heavenly mansion fair;
And those we loved so fondly here
Will bid us welcome there.
If the cross
we meekly bear,
Then the crown
we shall wear,
When we dwell,
among the fair,
in the bright forevermore.
We long to leave these fading scenes
That glide so quickly by,
And join the shining host above,
Where joy can never die.
If the cross
we meekly bear,
Then the crown
we shall wear,
When we dwell,
among the fair,
in the bright forevermore.
