1. There’s a joy that brightens ev’ry earthly day,
While we work for Jesus with a courage strong;
‘Tis the blest reward that fadeth not away,
In that bright, beautiful land of song.
(Chorus)
Then sing on the homeward way, (homeward way,)
And shout with the marching throng; (marching throng;)
For we shall gather over yonder some sweet day,
In that bright, beautiful land of song.
2. Reach a helping hand to those who faint and die;
Strike a blow for vict’ry over sin and wrong;
Win a soul for Jesus, and a home on high,
In that bright, beautiful land of song.
3. When our earthly trials and our conflicts cease,
When we find the dear ones we have loved so long,
There’ll be crowns of glory, there’ll be joy and peace,
In that bright, beautiful land of song.
