There are songs, glad songs, that in dreams I hear,
And they come o'er the crystal sea;
From the friends that wait at the jasper gate,
And I know they are calling me.
Come, oh, come they are gently saying,
Come where the blest repose;
Come, oh, come to the vales of Eden,
Come where the life-tree grows.
There are songs, glad songs, when my heart is lone,
When I sigh for the vanished hours:
And their tones are sweet as the voice of birds,
Or the breath of the dewy flowers.
Come, oh, come they are gently saying,
Come where the blest repose;
Come, oh, come to the vales of Eden,
Come where the life-tree grows.
There are songs, glad songs, that my Father gives,
In the hush of the silent night;
And my faith takes wings, and it soars away
To the home of the morrow's light.
Come, oh, come they are gently saying,
Come where the blest repose;
Come, oh, come to the vales of Eden,
Come where the life-tree grows.
There are songs, glad songs, I shall learn them soon,
On the banks where the faithful meet.
When I strike my harp with a loud amen.
As I kneel at the Saviour's feet.
Come, oh, come they are gently saying,
Come where the blest repose;
Come, oh, come to the vales of Eden,
Come where the life-tree grows.
