Light and Life Songs No. 2 ‎#25

25. When the Tempest Passes Over

1 We speak of the land of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair,
And oft are its glories confessed;
But what must it be to be there?

Chorus:
When the tempest passes over,
We shall meet each other there on the shore;
When the tempest passes over,
We shall meet each other there on the shore.

2 We sing of its pathways of gold,
Its walls decked with jewels so rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold;
But what must it be to be there? [Chorus]

3 We talk of its peace and its love,
The robes which the glorified wear,
The songs of the blessed above;
But what must it be to be there? [Chorus]

4 We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation, and care,
From trials without and within;
But what must it be to be there? [Chorus]

5 Do Thou ‘mid all pleasure or woe,
For Eden our Spirits prepare;
Then shortly we also shall know,
And feel what it is to be there. [Chorus]
