228. Happy Song-Land

1 Song-land fair,
Over there,
Free from sorrow, free from care;
Angels bright,
Robed in white,
Dwell in peace and pure delight;
By and by,
Shadows nigh,
Resting comes in home on high;
We shall join in praises there,
In that happy Song-land fair.

Refrain:
Holy, happy Song-land fair,
Radiant mansions ‘wait us there;
By and by,
Shadows nigh,
Resting comes in home on high;
We shall join in praises there,
In that happy Song-land fair.

2 Toils are o’er,
Near the shore,
Near the blessed evermore;
Hand in hand,
Near the strand,
Near the shining Summer Land;
Where we go,
Fountains flow,
In the noontide’s sunny glow;
Joyful ransomed souls are there,
In that happy Song-land fair. [Refrain]
