Melodies of Love ‎#111

111. That Will Be A Happy Day

1 We have heard about a land of love beyond the starring sky,
where the saints shall gather in bright array;
With the sainted happy band, where we shall sing to Him on high,
That will be a wonderful, happy day.

Refrain:
It will be a happy day when we reach heaven's home to stay
In that land, that beautiful land above.
If I go before you do, I will be there waiting you,
In that land, that beautiful land of love.

2 Former things will pass away, in that glad land all things are new,
Moral eye the beauties cannot behold;
Nor more knees will bow to pray, and there no heart will be untrue,
When we reach that city of shining gold. [Refrain]

3 Let us press toward that land, and take the hand of those who wait,
No farewells we ever will have to say;
Peter, James and John and Paul will be in that united band,
That will be a wonderful happy day. [Refrain]
