There is a land, a better land than this

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1003 (1886) Lyrics: 1 There is a land, a better land than this, There's my home, there's my home! A land of pure, unbounded, perfect bliss, There's my home, there's my home. A captive on this desert shore, I long to count my exile o'er, And be where sorrows come no more; There's my home, there's my home. 2 Far, far I am from my own happy shore, I would go, I would go; But yet my days of exile are not o'er: I would go, I would go. I would not stay though earth were mine; Though all its treasures for me shine, A captive here I still would pine: I would go, I would go. 3 Bright visions of that blissful land appear, There's my home, there's my home, How long a pilgrim must I wander here? There's my home, there's my home. O tell me that I soon shall be, With all the ransomed exiles, free, In that blest land I long to see: There's my home, there's my home. 4 There is a land, a brighter land than this, Joys are there, joys are there; No pain or sorrow, sickness or distress, Reaches there, reaches there. Bright fields of pleasure greet the eye, And crystal streams that never dry; O give me wings! I now would fly, And be there, and be there. Topics: Reward of Saints Tune Title: BETTER LAND
