77. What Must it Be to Be There!

1 We speak of the land of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair,
And oft are its glories confess’d;
But what must it be to be there!

Refrain:
To be there!
To be there!
Oh, what must it be to be there!
To be there!
To be there!
Oh, what must it be to be there!

2 We speak of its pathways of gold,
Its walls deck’d with jewels so rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold,
But what must it be to be there! [Refrain]

3 We speak of its peace and its love,
The robes which the glorified wear,
The songs of the blessed above,
But what must it be to be there! [Refrain]
