The Tabernacle Hymns ‎#27

27. To the Father-land

1 We are trav’ling to the glory,
Yes the glory land is near;
And we want you to go with us,
While the way is made so clear.

Refrain:
To the Fatherland, to the Fatherland,
Won’t you come to the Fatherland?
Thru the Saviour’s blood, reconciled to God,
Won’t you come to the Fatherland?

2 There are loved ones in the glory,
There are joys beyond compare;
Now the voice of God is calling,
Bidding us to bring you there. [Refrain]

3 Not a sin can enter yonder,
For the Word of God is sure,
That you cannot see the Father,
Not until your heart is pure. [Refrain]

4 Won’t you start tonight for glory,
Tell the Savior of your sin?
He has promised to forgive you,
If you come to God thru Him. [Refrain]
