The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16984

16984. Eden Land

1. On the gold­en strand of the heav’n­ly land
Where the liv­ing wa­ters flow,
There’s a man­sion fair, wait­ing for me there,
’Tis the home where I shall go.

Refrain

Happy land, Ed­en land,
Where the liv­ing wa­ters flow;
Happy land, E­den land,
Soon thy glo­ries I shall know.

2. There no storms a­rise to be­cloud the skies
On that fair ce­les­tial shore;
But a har­bor sweet, for a safe re­treat,
Free from death for ev­er­more.

Refrain

3. Thro’ re­deem­ing grace I shall reach that place
Where no sor­rows ev­er come;
All the glo­ries there I shall ev­er share,
When I reach that hap­py home.

Refrain
