Original text and translations

English text

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.
