Lyrics

There is a land of won­drous beau­ty,
Where the liv­ing wa­ters flow,
The Word of God to all has said it,
And it sure­ly must be so.

Refrain

And I’m go­ing there some day,
Some day, some day,
I am go­ing there to stay
With Je­sus.

No tears are there, no blight­ing sor­row,
From the cru­el hand of death;
No flow­ers fade, no sum­mers per­ish
By the win­ter’s chil­ling breath.

Refrain

There ran­somed souls will give me wel­come
With a Hal­le­lu­jah shout!
And I shall en­ter in that city,
Never, ne­ver to go out.

Refrain

I’ve loved ones there who passed be­fore me,
They’ll re­joice to see me come,
But best of all, I’ll see my Sav­ior,
Who will bid me Wel­come home.
