Beautiful Land Of Light

Author: Eva M. Ramsley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12828 First Line: This life is but a crowded scene Refrain First Line: Happy land, beautiful land Lyrics: 1 This life is but a crowded scene, Of sorrow, pain, and care, Where grief awaits us day by day, And brings us much to bear; But if we trust our Savior dear, He’ll make the way seem bright, And when we die we’ll go to dwell, In that fair land of light. Refrain: Happy land, beautiful land, Land where there is no night, Happy land, beautiful land, Blest land of sweet delight. 2 If we but do our Savior’s will, He will our troubles bear; Each blessed promise He’ll fulfill, A robe of white we’ll wear; We’ll enter at the golden gate, Sweet Jesus, sweet delight; And happy we will ever be, In that fair land of light. [Refrain] 3 We soon shall reach that shining shore, And be forever blest, Sweet friends and kindred gone before, There sweetly we shall rest; Rest in that far off better land, Oh what a glorious sight, With all the shining host to stand, In that fair land of light. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [This life is but a crowded scene]
