A land of light, a land of joy,
A land of sweet and high em­ploy;
A land of peace, home­land above,
A land of love, eter­nal love.

Refrain

O sin­less land, bright sin­less land,
So blest be­cause a sin­less land;
I long for thee, O sin­less land,
Because the on­ly bless­èd land.

A frost­less clime, for­ev­er fair,
No tem­pest blasts can en­ter there;
No bud can blight, no blos­som fade,
No sor­rows cast their dis­mal shade.

Refrain

No night, no death, no heat­ed noon,
Forever fresh, eter­nal June;
No throb of pain, no weight of care,
Where songs of bliss fill all the air.

Refrain

Be glad, my soul, each add­ed year
Makes this bright land thrice doub­ly dear;
And while on earth, if saved from sin,
My heart may take its glo­ries in.
