30. Beautiful Land

1 A beautiful land by faith I see,
A land of rest, from sorrow free;
The home of the ransomed, bright and fair,
And beautiful angels, too, are there.

Chorus:
Will you go? Will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?
Will you go? Will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?
Will you go? Will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?
Will you go? Will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?

2 That beautiful land where all is light,
It ne'er has known the shades of night;
The glory of God, the light of day,
Hath driven the darkness far away. [Chorus]

3 In vision I see its streets of gold,
Its beautiful gates I do behold;
The river of life, the crystal sea,
The ambrosial fruit of life’s fair tree. [Chorus]

4 The heavenly throng arrayed in white,
In rapture range the plains of light;
In one harmonious choir they praise
The glorious Savior’s matchless grace. [Chorus]
