Bright Glory Land!

lyricist: Ida Tremaine, 1894
Composer: Hubert Main

There is a land be­yond the stars

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

Beyond the sun­set’s crim­son bars—

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

A land of peace with­out al­loy;

Of joy be­yond all earth­ly joy;

And naught its calm can e’er de­stroy—

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

The ci­ty of our God is there

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

Its jas­per walls with beau­ty fair

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

Its gates of pearl like sil­ver gleam

Its skies with fade­less sun­light beam;

And thro’ it rolls life’s crys­tal stream

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

We lift our eyes by faith and see

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

Where Christ Him­self the light shall be

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!

There songs of praise glad hearts shall sing;

The ra­di­ant air with mu­sic ring;

Each voice pro­claim our Sav­ior King

Glory Land

bright Glo­ry Land!
