"There Is a Land of Love" (1863) Words by Mrs. Mary Ann Kidder Music by Stephen Collins Foster, 1826-1864 Arranged by Professor Cull 1. There is a land of love, Where the pure and the holy rest, Far in the realms above, In joy and gladness ever drest; A land of beauty and delight, Where the streets are paved with gold; Where celestial flow'rs are blooming fair and bright, And all is glorious to behold. CHORUS There is a land of love, Over on Canaan's shore; There the soul in Christ may sweetly rest, And never, never leave it more. 2. There is a land of love, On the shores of the cystal sea; There may the spirit rove, From earthly trials ever free; A land where tears are wiped away; Where the blind their God behold, Where the lame may walk along the heavenly way, And the bondman ne'er again be sold! 3. There is a land of love Where the soul of the ransomed sings; There may the weary dove From earthly wanderings fold her wings; A land of truth and glory bright, Where the pangs of death ne'er come; Where Christ himself will be the only light! Oh! may I call that land my home!
