Chorus: Oh, land of love, of joy and light Thy glories gild earth's darkest night; Thy tranquil shore, we, too, shall see, When day shall break and shadows flee. 2. A land upon whose blissful shore There rests no shadow, falls no stain; There those who meet shall part no more, And those long parted meet again. [Chorus] 3. Its skies are not like earthly skies, With varying hues of shade and light; It hath no need of suns, to rise To dissipate the gloom of night. [Chorus] 4. There sweeps no desolating wind Across the calm, serene abode. The wand'rer there a home may find Within the paradise of God. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There is a land mine eye hath seen]

[Chorus] 3 Should coming days be cold and dark, We need not cease our singing; That perfect rest naught can molest, Where golden harps are ringing.

Saa vidt som Solens Straaler stige

Author: Casper Boye Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Mission, Home Lyrics: 1 Saa vidt som Solens Straaler stige Fra Øst til Vest, i Syd og Nord, Saa lad, o Herre Lysets Rige Udbredes paa den hele Jord, At alle, som i Mørket bo, Optage Jesu Kristi Tro! 2 Som Østens blanke Stjerne førte De fromme Mænd til Bethlehem, Saa lad enhver, som Ordet hørte, Af det veiledet vandre frem, At alle Hjerter finde maa Den Frelser, de skal bygge paa! 3 Hold Kristi Kors enhver for Øie, Som paa sin Gjerning stoler trygt, Og dem, som ydmygt sig nedbøie Med Hjertet fuldt af Syndens Frygt, Som ængste sig for Dom og Grav, Giv Korset til Opreisnings Stav! 4 Styrk selv, o Herre, dem, der stride I Prøvens Stund den gode Strid! Vær nær hos alle dem, der lide, Og gjør dem Smertens Taare blid! Du er vort Haab, du er vort Skjold Mod Synd og Død og Satans Vold. 5 Din Naades Vinger overskygge Os med din Varetægt og Fred, Lad Aand og Kraft i Landet bygge, Giv Eng og Ager Frugtbarhed! Mod Krigens Sverd beskjærm vor Ro, Din Fred i Hus og Hjerte bo!
