- 1I have heard of a landOn a faraway strand,In the Bible the story is told,Where cares never come,Never darkness nor gloom,And nothing shall ever grow old.In that beautiful land,On the faraway strand,No storms with their blasts ever frown;The street, I am told, is paved with pure gold,And the sun, it shall never go down.
- 2There are ever green treesThat bend low in the breeze,And their fruitage is brighter than gold;There the throne of God stands,In that fairest of lands,And nothing shall ever grow old.In that beautiful land,On the faraway strand,No storms with their blasts ever frown;The street, I am told, is paved with pure gold,And the sun, it shall never go down.
- 3There’s a home in that land,At the Father’s right hand,There are mansions whose joys are untold;And perennial spring,Where the saints ever sing,And nothing shall ever grow old.In that beautiful land,On the faraway strand,No storms with their blasts ever frown;The street, I am told, is paved with pure gold,And the sun, it shall never go down.
