Author: Andrew Young Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 3 #223 (1918) Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land, Far, far away, Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day; O how they sweetly sing, Worthy is our Saviour King, Loud let His praises ring, Loud let His praises ring, Praise, praise for aye. 2 Come to that happy land, Come, come away; Why will ye doubting stand, Why still delay? O we shall happy be, When from sin and sorrow free, Lord, we shall live with Thee, 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; On then to glory run, Be a crown and kingdom won; And bright above the sun, And bright above the sun, Reign, reign, for aye.
