The Happy Land

Author: C. E. P. Hymnal: Gospel Jewels #108 (1890) First Line: There is a land, a sunny clime Refrain First Line: Oh, that land, that happy land Lyrics: 1 There is a land, a sunny clime, The brightest ever seen, Which lies beyond the shores of time, Beyond cold Jordan’s stream. Refrain: Oh, that land, that happy land, Far away, far away, Where the saints in glory stand, Bright as day, bright as day. 2 Beneath the tree of life’s dense shade Life’s river floweth by, And youth and beauty never fade, For there they never die. [Refrain] 3 I long to reach that land so fair, My dwelling-place to see; Among the many mansions there, Is one prepared for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a land, a sunny clime]
