Carols of Hope ‎#117

117. The New Country

1. "My country! 'tis of thee,"
Land of the pure and free
Of thee I sing:
Land where none ever die;
In God's "sweet by and by,"
We'll spend eternity
With Christ our King.

2. Jesus, immortal King,
O'er all our world shall reign,
From sea to sea;
Where peace shall e'er remain
O'er all his wide domain,
And of his peaceful reign,
No end shall be.

3. O come, thou King of kings,
On love's triumphant wings,
We hail that day
When thou shalt take thy throne,
And all thy people own;
Come rule our world alone,
For this we pray.
