1 When the cold breath of sorrow blights our joys,
Let us trust in our Father undismayed;
There is gladness no wint’ry grief destroys,
In the land where the roses never fade.
Refrain:
In the land where the roses never fade,
Where no sin, neither sorrow can invade,
We shall meet our loved ones there,
And eternal glories share,
In the land where the roses never fade.
2 When our hopes fall like leaves before the blast,
We should never be troubled, nor afraid,
For in Jesus we’ll gather home at last,
In the land where the roses never fade. [Refrain]
3 Working on, trusting ever in His love,
Let our hearts on our Saviour still be stayed;
For we know we shall see His face above,
In the land where the roses never fade. [Refrain]
