D G D
1. There’s a land that is fairer than day,
2. We shall sing on that beautiful shore
3. To our bountiful Father a - bove,
A7
1. And by faith we can see it afar;
2. The melodious songs of the blessed;
3. We will offer our tribute of praise
D G D
1. For the Father waits over the way
2. And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
3. For the glorious gift of His love
A7 D
1. To prepare us a dwelling place there.
2. Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
3. And the blessings that hallow our days.
