1 When the long days of winter-time are over,
When we enter the bright, eternal spring,
‘Neath the sunlight of heaven’s golden splendor,
Then at last how my heart will gladly sing.
Refrain:
In the land where the flowers bloom forever,
When the day beams throughout the bye-and-bye,
Ne’er shall sorrow my soul from rapture sever,
In the land where the flowers never die.
2 When no more shall my hopes be turn’d to sighing,
When no fears hover darkly at my side,
Then I know I shall see my blest Redeemer,
And with lov’d ones shall evermore abide. [Refrain]
3 Then I’ll patiently wait the glorious dawning,
When my work for the Master is complete,
Trusting all to the Saviour’s tender keeping,
Till I lay ev’ry burden at His feet. [Refrain]
