Refrain: O beautiful, beautiful land! O land where all sorrow shall cease, Where the soul, satisfied, Evermore shall abide By this fair, shining river of peace! 2 ‘Tis a wonderful land, for it knoweth no night, And its brightness is dimmed by no pain; For the blessed who dwell ‘mid the regions of light Shall never know sorrow again.
