10780. In The Pleasant Land Of Heaven

1 In the pleasant land of Heaven,
From all earth’s sad doubts and fears,
Where there never comes a sorrow,
Thro’ the great eternal years;
Where the dear ones, bright and blessèd,
Walk the quiet waters nigh,
In the pleasant land of Heaven,
Will you meet me by and by?

Refrain:
O the pleasant land, O the pleasant land,
Land beyond earth’s clouded sky
In that goodly land, in that goodly land,
Will you meet me by and by?

2 In the pleasant land of Heaven,
All our thought shall be in love;
Every good affection guide us,
In our happy home above;
All our way shall end in brightness,
There is no o’erclouded sky;
In the pleasant land of Heaven,
Will you meet me by and by? [Refrain]

3 In the pleasant land of Heaven,
Oh, what raptures wait us there!
By the life stream ever flowing,
Thro’ the city wondrous fair;
Sweet the happy angel voices,
Glad the strain they raise on high,
In the pleasant land of Heaven,
Will you meet me by and by? [Refrain]
