14401. That Beautiful Land

1 A beautiful land by faith I see,
A land of rest, from sorrow free;
The home of the ransomed, bright and fair,
And beautiful angels, too, are there.

Refrain:
Will you go? Will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?
Will you go? Will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?

2 That beautiful land, City of Light,
It ne’er has known the shades of night;
The glory of God, the light of day
Hath driven the darkness far away. [Refrain]

3 In visions I see its streets of gold,
Its pearly gates I, too, behold;
The river of life, the crystal sea,
The ambrosial fruit of life’s fair tree. [Refrain]

4 The heav’nly throng arrayed in white,
In rapture range the plains of light;
And in one harmonious choir they praise
Their glorious Savior’s matchless grace. [Refrain]
