The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#63a

63a. There is a happy land

1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day.
Oh, how they sweetly sing,
Worthy is our Saviour-King,
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye!

2 Come to this happy land,
Come, come away.
Why will ye doubting stand,
Why still delay?
Oh, we shall happy be,
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall live with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.

3 Bright in that happy land
Beams every eye,
Kept by a Father’s hand,
Love cannot die.
Oh, then, to glory run,
Be a crown and kingdom won,
And bright above the sun
We reign for aye.
