Original text and translations
- 1.
- There is a blessèd home,
- Beyond this land of woe,
- Where trials never come,
- Nor tears of sorrow flow;
- Where faith is lost in sight,
- And patient hope is crowned,
- And everlasting light
- Its glory throws around.
- 2.
- There is a land of peace,
- Good angels know it well;
- Glad songs that never cease
- Within its portals swell;
- Around its glorious throne
- Ten thousand saints adore
- Christ, with the Father One,
- And Spirit, evermore.
- 3.
- O joy all joys beyond,
- To see the Lamb Who died,
- And count each sacred wound
- In hands, and feet, and side;
- To give to Him the praise
- Of every triumph won,
- And sing through endless days
- The great things He hath done.
- 4.
- Look up, ye saints of God,
- Nor fear to tread below
- The path your Savior trod
- Of daily toil and woe;
- Wait but a little while
- In uncomplaining love
- His own most gracious smile
- Shall welcome you above.
Lyrics: Henry W. Baker, 1861.
