14. There is a land, a happy land

1 There is a land, a happy land
Where tears are wiped away
From every eye, by God's own hand,
And night is turned to day.

Chorus:
Let us strive to go there,
That its joys we may share,
When we have finished our mission below.

2 There is a home, a happy home,
Where way-worn travelers rest;
Where toil and languor never come,
And every mourner's blest. [Chorus]

3 There is a port, a peaceful port,
A safe and quiet shore,
Where weary mariners resort,
And fear the storm no more. [Chorus]

4 There is a crown, a dazzling crown,
Bedecked with jewels fair,
And priest and Kings of high renown,
That crown of glory wear. [Crown]
