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.
