1
\nWe have heard from the bright, the holy, land;
\nWe have heard, and our hearts are glad;
\nFor we were a lonely pilgrim band,
\nAnd weary, and worn, and sad.
\nThey tell us the saints have a dwelling there
\nNo longer are homeless ones;
\nAnd we know that the goodly land is fair,
\nWhere life’s pure river runs.<\/p>\n
2
\nThey say green fields are waving there,
\nThat never a blight shall know;
\nAnd the deserts wild are blooming fair,
\nAnd the roses of Sharon grow.
\nThere are lovely birds in the bowers green,
\nTheir songs are blithe and sweet;
\nAnd their warblings, gushing ever new,
\nThe angels’ harpings greet.<\/p>\n
3
\nWe have heard of the palms, the robes, the crowns,
\nAnd the silvery band in white;
\nOf the city fair, with pearly gates,
\nAll radiant with light.
\nWe have heard of the angels there, and saints,
\nWith their harps of gold, how they sing;
\nOf the mount with the fruitful tree of life,
\nOf the leaves that healing bring.<\/p>\n
4
\nThe King of that country, He is fair,
\nHe’s the joy and light of the place;
\nIn His beauty we shall behold Him there,
\nAnd bask in His smiling face,
\nWe’ll be there, we’ll be there in a little while,
\nWe’ll join the pure and the blest;
\nWe’ll have the palm, the robe, the crown,
\nAnd forever be at rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
