That Beautiful Land 501
Tune: H. E. Engle, 1843
Lyrics: New Starry Crown, 1877
Meter: 11s,9s (11,9,11,9)
There's a beautiful land far beyond the sky,
And Jesus my Savior is there;
He has gone to prepare me a home on high,
O I long, O I long to be there!
Chorus:
In that beautiful land,
Where the angels stand,
We shall meet in that beautiful land.
I have friends who have gone to that land on high,
They are free from all sorrow and care;
And I trust I shall meet them above the sky,
O I long, O I long to be there!
(Chorus)
We shall meet in that beautiful land on high,
And be with the bright and the fair,
Where the waters of life sweetly murmur by,
O I long, O I long to be there!
(Chorus)
