Stanza 1
We speak of the land of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair,
And oft are its glories confessed;
But what must it be to be there!
Refrain:
To be there! to be there!
Oh, what must it be to be there!
To be there! to be there!
Oh, what must it be to be there!
Stanza 2
We speak of its pathways of gold,
Its walls decked with jewels so rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold;
But what must it be to be there!
Stanza 3
We speak of its peace and its love,
The robes which the glorified wear,
The songs of the blessed above;
But what must it be to be there
Stanza 4
We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation, and care,
From trials without and within
But what must it be to be there!
