1. There is a land, a happy land,
Where tears are wiped away
From ev'ry eye by God's own hand,
And night is turned to day.
Chorus:
O come, angel band,
Come and around me stand,
O, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home,
O, bear me away on your snowy wings,
To my immortal home.
2. There is a home, a happy home,
Where wayward trav'lers rest;
Where toil and languor never come,
And ev'ry mourner's blest. [Chorus]
3. There is a port, a peaceful port,
A safe and quiet shore,
Where weary mariners resort,
And hear the storms no more. [Chorus]
4. That land be mind, that calm retreat,
That crown of glory bright;
Then I'll esteem each bitter sweet,
And every burden light. [Chorus]
