Lyrics

They tell me of a land so fair,
Unseen by mor­tal eyes,
Where spring in fade­less beau­ty blooms,
Beneath un­cloud­ed skies.

Refrain

Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
Neither hath it en­tered in­to the heart of man,
The things which God hath pre­pared for them,
Prepared for them that love Him.

They tell me of a land so fair,
Where all is light and song,
Where an­gel choirs their an­thems join
With yon­der blood-washed throng.

Refrain

No ra­di­ant beams from sun or moon
Adorn that land so fair,
For He who sits up­on the throne
Shines forth re­splen­dent there.

Refrain

O land of light and love and joy,
Where comes no night of care,
What will our song of tri­umph be
When we shall en­ter there!
