There is a better world, they say
O so bright! O so
bright!
Where sin and woe are done away,
O so bright! O so
bright!
And music fills the balmy air,
And angels with
bright wings are there,
And harps of gold and mansions fair,
O so bright! O so bright!
No clouds e¡¦er pass along that sky,
Happy land! Happy
land!
No tear drops glisten in the eye,
Happy land! Happy
land!
They drink the gushing streams of grace,
And gaze
upon the Saviour¡¦s face
Whose brightness fills the holy
place;
Happy land! Happy land!
And though we¡¦re sinners every one,
Jesus died! Jesus
died!
And though our crown of peace is gone,
Jesus died!
Jesus died!
We may be cleansed from every stain,
We may be
crowned with bliss again,
And in that land of glory reign;
Jesus died! Jesus died!
And wicked things and beasts of prey,
Come not there! Come
not there!
And ruthless death and fierce decay,
Come not
there! Come not there!
There all are holy, all are good,
But hearts unwashed in Jesus¡¦ blood,
And guilty sinners
unrenewed,
Come not there! Come not there!
