There is a land immortal

Author: George MacKellar Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 There is a land immortal, The beautiful of lands, Beside its ancient portal A silent sentry stands; He only can undo it, And open wide the door; And mortals who pass through it, Are mortal nevermore. 2 Though dark and drear the passage That leadeth to the gate, Yet grace attends the message, To souls that watch and wait: And at the time appointed A messenger comes down, And guides the Lord's anointed From cross to glory's crown. 3 Their sighs are lost in singing, They're blessèd in their tears; Their journey heavenward winging, They leave on earth their fears: Death like an angel seemeth; "We welcome thee," they cry; Their face with glory beameth-- 'Tis life for them to die! Amen. Used With Tune: CASKEY
