New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined ‎#35

35. In the Summer-Land

1 O how sweet to know, while we toil below,
Where no heart from care is free;
That at heaven’s gate many dear ones wait,
Wait to welcome you and me.

Refrain:
In the summer-land above,
All so pure and glad and free;
Many dear ones wait at the pearly gate,
Wait to welcome you and me.

2 All their care is o’er they will sigh no more,
All their tears are wiped away,
And they sing the song of the angel throng,
As they wait for us today. [Refrain]

3 Are we sure that we at the gate will be;
Do we watch and wait and pray?
Shall we meet them there in the morning fair
When the shadows flee away? [Refrain]
