The Morning Star ‎#39

39. The land of promise

1 Sinner go, will you go
To the high-lands of heaven;
Where the storms never blow,
And the long summer's given?
Where the bright blooming flowers
Are their odors emitting;
And the leaves of the bowers
In the breezes are flitting?

2 Where the rich golden fruit
Is in bright clusters pending,
And the deep laden boughs
Of life's fair tree are bending;
And where life's crystal stream
Is unceasingly flowing,
And the verdure is green,
And eternally growing?

3 He's prepared thee a home--
Sinner, canst thou believe it?
And invites thee to come--
Sinner, wilt thou receive it?
Oh come, sinner, come,
For the tide is receding,
And the Saviour will soon,
And forever, cease pleading.
