Lyrics

What a glad thought twill be in knowing
that with my Savior I'll be going
When I shall rise up and soar away
Enter into a land supernal
live in that land that is eternal
Leaving all sorrow I'll be home to stay

I'll leave this lowland of sorrow some happy tomorrow
Settle down no more to roam
I'll look at my hands and they'll be new
I'll look at my feet and they will too
I'll shout Hallelujah when I get home

There will be no more cause for grieving
all of my troubles I'll be leaving
Jesus will wipe all the tears away
None to complain and no temptation
there will be peace and jubilation
Meeting with friends on that eternal day.
