Crowning Day No. 5 ‎#1

1. My Fatherland

1 There is a place where my hopes are stay’d,
My heart and my treasure are there;
Where verdure and blossoms never fade,
And fields are eternal fair.

Refrain:
That blissful place is my fatherland;
By faith its delights I explore;
Come, favor my flight, angelic band,
And waft me in peace to the shore.

2 There is a place where the angels dwell—
A pure and a peaceful abode;
The joys of that place no tongue can tell;
For there is the palace of God! [Refrain]

3 There is a place where my friends have gone
Who suffered and worshiped with me,
Exalted with Christ, high on His throne,
The King in His beauty they see. [Refrain]

4 There is a place where I hope to live,
When life and its labors are o’er;
A place which the Lord to me will give,
And then I shall sorrow no more. [Refrain]
