THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.

I.

A beautiful land by faith I see: A land of rest—from sorrow free, Where the saints in glory, free from strife, Have at last obtained ETERNAL LIFE.

Chorus. Will you go to that beautiful land?

II.

That country is called the kingdom of God; 'Tis the "Eden of Love" on the earth restored; And Jesus the King, who came from above, By faith I see in that world of love. CHo.—Will you go, etc.

III.

By faith there I see a city of light— A city that knows no shades of night: For the GLORY of God, e'er shining o'er, Illumes the land from shore to shore. CHo.—Will you go, etc.

IV.

By faith I see the throne of thrones, And the city walls of precious stones,— The living fount—the streets of gold,— The gates of pearl I too behold. CHo.—Will you go, etc.

V.

The river of LIFE I there do see, And the golden fruit on LIFE's fair TREE,— While saints redeemed in glory stand, And shout for joy in that heavenly land. CHo.—Will you go, etc.

VI.

The ransomed throng arrayed in white, In rapture range the fields of light; And while Redemption's song they sing, The heaven's broad arches loudly ring. CHo.—Will you go, etc.

VII.

By faith I'm there—in that heavenly home, With the glorified saints forever to roam. O, the home of the ransomed! bright and fair, The Kingdom forever! I long to be there! CHo.—I will go to that beautiful land, I will go to that beautiful land, I will go to that beautiful land. World's Crisis.
