E41. I Love to Think of the Heavenly Land

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

Refrain:
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 heav'nly land,
Where my Redeemer reigns,
Where rapturous songs of triumph rise,
In endless joyous strains. [Refrain]

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

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