Original text and translations

English text

1. There is a blessed home
 Beyond this land of woe,
 Where trials never come,
 Nor tears of sorrow flow;
 Where faith is lost in sight,
 And patient hope is crowned,
 And everlasting light
 Its glory throws around.

2. There is a land of peace,
 Good angels know it well,
 Glad songs that never cease
 Within its portals swell;
 Around its glorious throne
 Ten thousand saints adore
 Christ, with the Father one
 and Spirit, evermore.

3. O joy all joys beyond,
 To see the Lamb who died,
 And count each sacred wound
 In hands, and feet, and side;
 To give to him the praise
 Of every triumph won,
 And sing through endless days
 The great things he hath done.

4. Look up, ye saints of God,
 Nor fear to tread below
 The path your Saviour
 Trod Of daily toil and woe;
 Wait but a little while
 In uncomplaining love
 His own most gracious smile
 Shall welcome you above.
