O Beautiful Land

Verse 1

There’s a beautiful land that no mortal hath seen, For it lieth afar from our sight;— But we know that its hills are eternally green, And its rivers are rivers of light.

Chorus

O beautiful, beautiful land! O land where all sorrow shall cease, Where the soul, satisfied, Evermore shall abide By this fair, shining river of peace!

Verse 2

‘Tis a wonderful land, for it knoweth no night, And its brightness is dimmed by no pain; For the blessed who dwell ‘mid the regions of light Shall never know sorrow again.

Verse 3

There the songs of redeemed ones for ever arise, And the King in His beauty they see; O beautiful land, with thy shadowless skies, My weary heart yearneth for thee.
