The other land

Author: Mrs. A. L. Davison Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Somewhere beyond the vision Lyrics: 1 Somewhere beyond the vision, Of our despairing eyes, Within the land elysian, The hills of glory rise; Refrain: What words can tell the beauty Of that celestial land, The city God hath builded By his almighty hand. 2 And softly, sweetly, flowing, A river windeth fair, Thro' all the golden glory That reigns forever there; Refrain: And of those shining waters, The dying souls of men Shall drink with endless rapture, And, drinking, live again. 3 When thro' the golden portal, At last we enter in, Thro' him who hath redeemed us, A fadeless crown we win; Refrain: And in that world of beauty, With all the ransomed throng, We'll join with ceaseless rapture, The everlasting song.
