The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#100

100. The beautiful Land

1 There is a beautiful land,
Where only the good can go,
A worthy chosen band,
Free from every woe,
This beautiful land so pleasant and bright,
Is only for those who dare to do right.

2 Its streams of sparkling water,
Its meadows of richest hue,
Those alone can enter,
Who to their Lord are true;
Its beautiful portals of pearly white,
Ope' only to those who dare to do right.

3 The invitation given,
Which resounds o'er land and sea;
Suffer little children,
Let them come unto me.
Beautiful angels, radiant with light,
Welcome each child who dares to do right.
