Author: Gurdon Robins Hymnal: Christ in Song #883 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: There is a land mine eyes hath seen Refrain First Line: Oh, land of love, of joy and light Lyrics: 1. There is a land mine eye hath seen
In visions of enraptured tho't,
So bright, that all which spreads between
Is with its radiant glories fraught.
Chorus:
Oh, land of love, of joy and light
Thy glories gild earth's darkest night;
Thy tranquil shore, we, too, shall see,
When day shall break and shadows flee.
2. A land upon whose blissful shore
There rests no shadow, falls no stain;
There those who meet shall part no more,
And those long parted meet again. [Chorus]
3. Its skies are not like earthly skies,
With varying hues of shade and light;
It hath no need of suns, to rise
To dissipate the gloom of night. [Chorus]
4. There sweeps no desolating wind
Across the calm, serene abode.
The wand'rer there a home may find
Within the paradise of God. [Chorus] Topics: The Home Eternal; Special Selections Duets Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a land mine eye hath seen]
