A world beyond this earthly home
There dwells another place
A point beyond the moon and stars
And somewhere lost in space.

A place where heavenly angels sing
With flowing robes of white
A place amongst the rainbows
And radiant beams of light.

A place where peace and love is found
Before the throne of God
A place where splendid streets are paved
And saintly prophets trod.

A place where darkness never comes
Where everything is new
A place that glows with holy light
And shines the whole day through.

A place that has no tears to dry
There is no hurt or pain
A place for us to praise our Lord
And never die again.

A place that boasts of mansions high
Mine eyes will soon behold
A place where Jesus calls to me
And waits on streets of gold.
