That Dear Land

There is a land so fair and sweet

And on its shores our loved ones meet

To sing its songs and prais­es o’er

And tell its love for ev­er­more.

We shall wake

we shall wake in that morn­ing

When the beau­ty of Christ shall be known;

We shall sing

we shall sing in that morn­ing

Songs of glo­ry and love and home.

In that dear land with man­sions fair

We’ll ev­ery thought with Je­sus share

And in His name be all com­plete

While sing­ing prais­es glad and sweet.

All full of peace our lives shall be

And clear­er truth each one shall see.

The per­fect Guide doth lead us on

Our friend and teach­er all in one.
