THE BEAUTIFUL LAND

By L. D. Santee

There's a beautiful land where no shadows are, Where beauteous flowers bloom; Where the young and the happy, the gay and fair, No more sink away in the tomb; Where no moanings come from a bed of pain, And sickness is feared no more; Oh! my feet are weary, and I fain Would rest on that happy shore,
Where no tempests darken the skies' deep blue, And sorrows come no more; Where the smiling fields wear a verdant hue, And the troubles of life are o'er; Where each coming day to joy gives birth, And crystal fountains flow, And beauty live in the blessed earth, And chilling winds ne'er blow.
The harps of the blessed, the river's voice, And the tones of the divine, All, all will the weary heart rejoice, In that bright and happy clime. Oh! our eyes grow bright, and our hearts are glad For our toils are almost o'er; In that beautiful land where none are sad, We'll dwell forevermore.
L. D. SANTEE Dixon, Mo.
