Lyrics

There's a beautiful land on high,
To its glories I fain would fly,
When by sorrows pressed down,
I long for my crown,
In that beautiful land on high.

There's a beautiful land on high,
I shall enter it by and by;
There with friends hand in hand
We shall walk on the strand,
In that beautiful land on high.

There's a beautiful land on high,
Then why should I fear to die?
When death is the way
To the realms of day;
In that beautiful land on high.

There's a beautiful land on high,
Where we never shall say "good-bye;"
Where the righteous shall sing,
And their chorus will ring
In that beautiful land on high.

Chorus:
In that beautiful land I'll be,
From earth and its cares set free;
My Jesus is there,
He's gone to prepare
A place in that land for me!
