There is a land, a sunny land Whose skies are ever bright, Where evening shadows never fall; The Saviour is its light.

If the cross we meekly bear, Then the crown we shall wear, When we dwell, among the fair, In the bright forevermore.
Verse 2
There is a clime, a peaceful clime, Beyond life’s narrow sea, Where every storm is hush’d to rest: There let our treasure be.
Chorus
If the cross we meekly bear, Then the crown we shall wear, When we dwell, among the fair, In the bright forevermore.
Verse 3
There is a home, a glorious home, A heav’nly mansion fair; And those who lov’d so fondly here Will bid us welcome there.
Chorus
If the cross we meekly bear, Then the crown we shall wear, When we dwell, among the fair, In the bright forevermore.
Verse 4
We soon shall leave these fading scenes That glide so quickly by, And join the shining host above, Where joy can never die.
Chorus
If the cross we meekly bear, Then the crown we shall wear, When we dwell, among the fair, In the bright forevermore.
