Hallowed Hymns, New and Old ‎#184

184. There is a Happy Land

1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day;
O how they sweetly sing,
Worthy is our Saviour King,
Loud let His praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye.

2 Come to this happy land,
Come, come away;
Why will ye doubting stand?
Why still delay?
O we shall happy be,
When from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall live with Thee,
Blest, blest for aye.

3 Bright, in that happy land,
Beams ev'ry eye;
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die;
On then to glory run
Be a crown and kingdom won;
And bright above the sun,
Reign, reign for aye.
