          E            A           E
There's a land that is fairer than day

                             B7
And by faith we can see it afar

        E            A        E
For the Father waits over the way

                B7             E      A E
To prepare us a dwelling place there
[Chorus]
                    B7

                                E
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

The melodious songs of the blessed

And our spirits shall sorrow no more

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest
