Where there is no gloomy night,
Where love is the mainspring of duty,
And God the foundation of light.
Chorus.--And I long to be there, I long to be there,
I long, I long, I long to be there.
2 I have read of its flowing river
That bursts from beneath the throne,
And the beautiful trees that ever
Are found on its banks alone.
Chorus.--And I long to be there, &c.
3 I long to rise to that world of light,
And to breathe its balmy air;
I long to walk with the Lamb in white,
And to shout with the angels there.
Chorus.--And I long to be there, &c. Topics: Spiritual Songs; I Long to be There
