Eye hath not seen

they tell me of a land so fair,
unseen by mortal eyes,
where spring in fadeless beauty blooms,
beneath unclouded skies.

refrain

“eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
neither hath it entered into the heart of man,
the things which god hath prepared for them,
prepared for them that love him.”

they tell me of a land so fair,
where all is light and song,
where angel choirs their anthems join
with yonder blood-washed throng.

refrain

no radiant beams from sun or moon
adorn that land so fair,
for he who sits upon the throne
shines forth resplendent there.

refrain

o land of light and love and joy,
where comes no night of care,
what will our song of triumph be
when we shall enter there!
