In the land of life and glory

Representative Text

1 In the land of life and glory,
Where no pain can ever come,
We shall dwell all free from sorrow,
We shall rest with Christ at home.

Chorus:
In the land of life and glory,
Where no pain can ever come;
We shall live with Christ forever,
In that fair eternal home.

2 No more labor, no more sickness,
No more longing, no more care,
But a life of heavenly gladness,
We shall with the Saviour share. [Chorus]

3 No more want, and no more needy,
No more sadness, no more fears,
No more death, and no more crying,
He shall wipe away our tears. [Chorus]

4 Soon in glory, Christ returning,
Shall his loved ones to him bring;
That they may be with him ever,
Praises to him ever sing. [Chorus]

5 Thro' the everlasting ages,
In the land of life and joy,
We shall find with our Redeemer,
Heavenly bliss, without alloy. [Chorus]
