Come to the land of peace

Verse 1

Come to the land of peace! From shadows come away; Where all the sounds of weeping cease, And storms no more have sway!

Verse 2

Fear hath no dwelling here; But pure repose and love Breathe through the bright, celestial air The spirit of the dove.

Verse 3

Come to the bright and blest, Gathered from every land; For here thy soul shall find its rest, Amidst the shining band.

Verse 4

In this divine abode Change leaves no saddening trace; Come, trusting spirit, to thy God, Thy holy resting-place!
