And Jesus, my Savior, is there;
He has gone to prepare me a home on high—
Oh, I long, oh, I long to be there!
Refrain:
In that beautiful land,
Where the angels stand,
We shall meet, we shall meet,
We shall meet in that beautiful land.
2 I have friends who have gone to that land on high,
They are free from all sorrow and care;
And I trust I shall meet them above the sky—
Oh, I long, oh, I long to be there! [Refrain]
3 We shall meet in that beautiful land on high,
And be with the bright and the fair;
Where the waters of life sweetly murmur by—
Oh, I long, oh, I long to be there! [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There’s a beautiful land far beyond the sky] Text Sources: The New Starry Crown by Aldine S. Kieffer (Singer's Glen, Va: Ruebush, Kieffer, 1877)
