Author: Jesse P. Tompkins Hymnal: Light in the Valley #120 (1898) First Line: There is a land so dear to me Refrain First Line: Saviour, lead, O lead me there Lyrics: 1 There is a land so dear to me, It lies beyond the silent sea; Where heights of love I seek in vain, My longing soul shall there attain. Chorus: Saviour, lead, O lead me there, To the faces ever fair; To the forms I long to see, Saviour, hold me close to thee. 2 There is a land where never fades The rainbow or the summer shades; Where we, beneath a cloudless sky, Shall view the flow'rs that never die. [Chorus] 3 There is a land where forms so bright Shall never vanish from my sight, And leave affection's streams to roll In Alpine torrents on my soul. [Chorus] 4 There is a land where peace shall bide, Joy flows in one perpetual tide; And love's fair light shall ever beam, And sorrows vanish like a dream.
