GLADLY the pilgrim turns his feet to the radiant pearly portal.
Crimson and gold its glow, where cometh no pain or strife.
Sweet and long is the rest, in the home of the soul immortal,
Free from the woes and cares of earth, in the wonderful land of life.
Sweet and glad is the thrilling truth, telling a coming Saviour.
Sweeter the message grows, in a world where sin is rife.
Giving the soul to Jesus, the spirit, by pure behavior,
Is writing your name in heaven, in the wonderful land of life.
Sacred the altar of prayer, that unites the spirit with heaven,
That binds our souls to the Master, away from a world of strife.
Crimson and gold is the light that the city of God has given,
And the host unnumbered come with joy to the wonderful land of life.
