Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#345

345. I Love to Think of the Heavenly Land

1 I love to think of the heavenly land,
Where white-robed angels are;
Where many a friend is gathered safe
From fear and toil and care.

Chorus:
There’ll be no parting,
There’ll be no parting,
There’ll be no parting,
There’ll be no parting there.

2 I love to think of the heavenly land,
Where my Redeemer reigns,
Where rapturous songs of triumph rise,
In endless, joyous strains. [Chorus]

3 I love to think of the heavenly land,
The saints’ eternal home,
Where palms and robes, and crowns ne’er fade,
And all our joys are one. [Chorus]

4 I love to think of the heavenly land,
That promised land so fair;
Oh, how my raptured spirit longs
To be forever there! [Chorus]

Amen.
