Lyrics

Happy Land

There is a happy land, far, far away

Where saints in glory stand, bright, bright as day

Oh, how they sweetly sing, worthy is our Savior King

Loud let His praises ring, praise, praise for aye

Come to that happy land, come, come away

Why will you doubting stand, why still delay

Oh, we shall happy be, when from sin and sorrow free

Lord, we shall live with Thee, blest, blest for aye

Bright, in that happy land, beams every eye

Kept by a Father’s hand, love cannot die

Oh, then to glory run; be a crown and kingdom won

And, bright, above the sun, we reign for aye
