The Land Of Sunshine

Author: Charles Edmunds Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9973 First Line: Far away beyond the shadows Refrain First Line: Fair land of sunshine, bright are thy skies Lyrics: 1 Far away beyond the shadows Of the world, with all its care, There’s a land where glorious sunlight never dies; Where the Father has prepared for us A mansion bright and fair, Where He summons all His loved ones to the skies. Refrain: Fair land of sunshine, bright are thy skies; To thee with longing I lift mine eyes; Dear ones are calling, calling to me, Waiting my coming over the sea. 2 There the Savior sits in glory On His throne of royal might, While the angel hosts, adoring, round Him fall; The triumphant chorus swelling, from the seraphs pure and bright, As they hail the gentle Savior "Lord of all." [Refrain] 3 There are many loved ones yonder Who will bid us welcome home When our journeying and trials here are o’er; And our spirits shall be wafted Safe across the swelling tide To the golden strand of Heaven’s sunlit shore. [Refrain] 4 We shall gladly hear the message When He bids us, "Rise and come," And we lay our every earthly burden down; On an angel’s snowy pinions We shall speed to yon bright home And will wear the spotless robe and heav’nly crown. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Far away beyond the shadows]
