Author: John East Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12322 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a fold whence none can stray,
And pastures ever green,
Where sultry sun, or stormy day,
Or night, is never seen.
2 Far up the everlasting hills,
In God’s own light, it lies;
His smile its vast dimension fills
With joy that never dies.
3 One narrow vale, one darksome wave,
Divides that land from this;
I have a shepherd pledged to save,
And bear me home to bliss.
4 Soon at His feet my soul will lie,
In life’s last struggling breath;
But I shall only seem to die,
I shall not taste of death.
5 Far from this guilty world, to be
Exempt from toil and strife;
To spend eternity with Thee,
My Savior, this is life! Languages: English Tune Title: ELIM
