Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #334 (1977) First Line: There is a land of peace and joy Refrain First Line: Land of the blest! Lyrics: 1 There is a land of peace and joy
Beyond this vale of tears,
Where weary souls may rest at last
From conflicts, doubts and fears.
Refrain:
Land of the blest!
City of rest!
Built by the Saviour!
Home of the holy and blest.
2 When shall we reach that blessed shore,
And leave this world behind?
When shall we in the realms of light
Eternal pleasures find? [Refrain]
3 Our souls now long to be set free
And ride the trackless air,
To join our own triumphant voice
With loved ones over there. [Refrain]
4 But e'en while here below, in Christ
We may its foretaste know,
And rest from self and sin and shame,
From sickness, care and woe. [Refrain]
5 Yes, walking in the Lord today,
Surrendered to His pow'r,
We find e'en here, in Him alone,
A heav'n each passing hour. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Scripture: John 14:2 Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a land of peace and joy]
