His Fullness Songs ‎#334

334. Land of the Blest

1 There is a land of peace and joy
Beyond this vale of tears,
Where weary souls may rest at last
From conflicts, doubts and fears.

Refrain:
Land of the blest!
City of rest!
Built by the Saviour!
Home of the holy and blest.

2 When shall we reach that blessed shore,
And leave this world behind?
When shall we in the realms of light
Eternal pleasures find? [Refrain]

3 Our souls now long to be set free
And ride the trackless air,
To join our own triumphant voice
With loved ones over there. [Refrain]

4 But e'en while here below, in Christ
We may its foretaste know,
And rest from self and sin and shame,
From sickness, care and woe. [Refrain]

5 Yes, walking in the Lord today,
Surrendered to His pow'r,
We find e'en here, in Him alone,
A heav'n each passing hour. [Refrain]
