No troubles there will mar our peace,

Our pleasures there will never cease;

No tears of grief will dim our eyes,

In that bright land beyond the skies.

Beautiful land with streets of gold,

Thy splendors half can ne’er be told;

When shall my soul to thee arise—

Jehovah’s throne beyond the skies.

This life is but a troubled dream;

When shall I cross cold Jordan’s stream?
