14366. My Heavenly Home

1 There’s a land where ’tis morning forever,
And no clouds ever darken the sky;
Those who meet in that land naught can sever;
There true friendship and love never die.

Refrain:
O that land is my home;
Oft in dreams I its beauties behold;
And I think, as I roam,
Of the glories that cannot be told.

2 There the river of life, ever flowing,
Keeps the hills and the vales bright and fair;
And the Savior, His presence bestowing,
Fills with bliss every heart that is there. [Refrain]

3 O how sweet when our warfare is over,
And we pass from the scene of earth’s strife;
It will be in the land to discover
Hearts we know to be true in this life. [Refrain]

4 Sweeter still it will be with our Savior,
In that land of His glory to meet,
To rejoice in the light of His favor,
With the glorified saints at His feet. [Refrain]
