A Sinless Land

lyricist: Ellwood Stokes (1815–1895)
Composer: John Sweney

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.

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.

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.

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.
