Author: Gurdon Robins Hymnal: Give Thanks and Sing #59 (1909) First Line: There is a land mine eye hath seen Refrain First Line: Oh, land of love, of joy and light Lyrics: 1 There is a land mine eye hath seen
In visions of enraptured thought,
So bright, that all which spreads between
Is with its radiant glories fraught.
Refrain:
Oh, land of love, of joy and light,
Thy glories gild earth’s darkest night;
Thy tranquil shore, we, too, shall see,
When day shall break and shadows flee.
2 A land upon whose blissful shore
There rests no shadow, falls no stain;
There those who meet shall part no more,
And those long parted meet again. [Refrain]
3 Its skies are not like earthly skies,
With varying hues of shade and light;
It hath no need of suns, to raise
To dissipate the gloom of night. [Refrain]
4 There sweeps not desolating wind
Across the calm, serene abode.
The wand’rer there a home may find
Within the paradise of God. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a land mine eye hath seen]
