In the Pleasant Land of Heaven

In the plea­sant land of Heav­en

From all earth’s sad doubts and fears

Where there nev­er comes a sor­row

Thro’ the great eter­nal years;

Where the dear ones

bright and bless­èd

Walk the qui­et wa­ters nigh

In the plea­sant land of Heav­en

Will you meet me by and by?

O the plea­sant land

O the plea­sant land

Land be­yond earth’s cloud­ed sky

In that good­ly land

in that good­ly land

Will you meet me by and by?

In the plea­sant land of Heav­en

All our thought shall be in love;

Every good af­fect­ion guide us

In our hap­py home ab­ove;

All our way shall end in bright­ness

There is no o’er­cloud­ed sky;

In the plea­sant land of Heav­en

Will you meet me by and by?

In the plea­sant land of Heav­en

Oh

what rap­tures wait us there!

By the life stream ev­er flow­ing

Thro’ the ci­ty won­drous fair;

Sweet the hap­py an­gel voic­es

Glad the strain they raise on high

In the plea­sant land of Heav­en

Will you meet me by and by?
