The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#159

159. A beautiful land by faith I see

1 A beautiful land by faith I see,
A land of rest, from sorrow free,
The home of the ransomed, bright and fair,
And beautiful angels, too, are there.

Chorus:
Will you go? will you go?
Go to that beautiful land with me?
Will you go? will you go?
Go to that beautiful land?

2 That beautiful land, the City of Light,
It ne'er has known the shades of night;
The glory of God, the light of day
Hath driven the darkness far away. [Chorus]

3 In vision I see its streets of gold,
Its beautiful gates I too behold,
The river of life, the crystal sea,
The ambrosial fruit of life’s fair tree. [Chorus]

4 The heavenly throng arrayed in white,
In rapture range the plains of light;
And in our harmonious choir they praise
Their glorious Saviour’s matchless grace. [Chorus]
