THE BETTER LAND.

By E. Hutchins

We are in a land of sin and woe; But to a land of joy we go. We are in a land of pain and death; But we see a better land by faith. 'Tis there the weary shall find rest, And there the troubled shall be blest; 'Tis there the saints no more shall die, O for that better land I sigh. I fain would leave this land of woe, And to the better land would go; For there our dearest Lord we'll see, And there forever with him be; There praise his name forevermore, On Canaan's bright and happy shore. O shall we not there shortly meet, And worship at our Saviour's feet.
E. HUTCHINS.
