There’s a land of light and glo­ry,
Just be­yond the pear­ly gates;
Where no grief or fear can en­ter,
Joy in all its full­ness waits.

Refrain

In the hap­py home of love,
Blessèd pro­mis­es to prove;
We shall share the Sav­ior’s glo­ry,
In the heav’n­ly home above.

In that land no care will bur­den,
Jesus pro­mised us His peace;
In the glo­ry of His pre­sence,
Life and love shall ne­ver cease.

Refrain

As we jour­ney t’ward its glad­ness,
Earthly ties by death are riv’n;
But still lead­ing up­ward, on­ward,
Hope and faith point us to Heav’n.

Refrain

Joy and rap­ture are eter­nal,
Light im­mor­tal crowns the hills;
Those we love are ours for­ev­er,
This sweet pledge all doubt­ing stills.
