We’re Bound for the Land

Download: MP3

1. We’re bound for the land of the pure and the holy,
    The home of the happy, and kingdom of love;
Ye wanderers from God, in the broad road of folly,
    O say, will you go to the Eden above?

Refrain
Will you go, will you go,
will you go, will you go?
O say, will you go to the Eden above?

2. In that blessed land, neither sighing nor anguish
    Can breathe in the fields where the glorified rove;
Ye heart-burdened ones, who in misery languish,
    O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain

3. Nor fraud, nor deceit, nor the hand of oppression,
    Can injure the dwellers in that holy grove;
No wickedness there, not a shade of transgression;
    O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain

4. No poverty there, no, the saints are all wealthy,
    The heirs of His glory whose nature is love;
No sickness can reach them, that country is healthy;
    O say, will you go to the Eden above?
Refrain

5. And yet, guilty sinner, we would not forsake thee,
    We halt yet a moment as onward we move;
O, come to thy Lord! In His arms He will take thee,
    And bear thee along to the Eden above.
Refrain
