55. The Land of Promise

1 Have ye heard of the land of promise,
Far beyond the glowing sky?
There is rest for the faint and weary,
There shall pleasure never die.

Chorus:
Come, oh come, and learn the story
Of the Christian's home in glory,
We are bound for the land of promise,
Far beyond the glowing sky.
Happy home, happy,
Happy beyond the sky.

2 Jesus dwells in the land of promise,
He who laid his crown aside;
Came to earth from his Father's kingdom,
Wept and languished, bled and died. [Chorus]

3 Have ye heard of the heavenly Canaan,
Where the good shall part no more?
Join our band, we are marching onward,
Soon our journey will be o'er. [Chorus]

4 Have ye heard of the holy city
Beauteous realm of joy untold?
Would ye roam by the shining river?
Would ye tread the streets of gold! [Chorus]
