Lyrics

There is a land, a land of beau­ty,
Over in the sun-bright clime;
Life by His grace, re­ward for du­ty,
Over in the sun-bright clime.

Refrain

Just ov­er in the sun-bright clime!
Just over in the sun-bright clime!
We’ll sweet­ly rest from all our la­bors,
Over in the sun-bright clime!

’Tis al­ways light, the land of sto­ry,
Over in the sun-bright clime;
’Tis al­ways fair, ’tis al­ways glo­ry,
Over in the sun-bright clime.

Refrain

There ha­ppy we shall be for­ev­er,
Over in the sun-bright clime;
And sor­row we shall feel, no ne­ver,
Over in the sun-bright clime.

Refrain

There’ll be no sin, there’ll be no sigh­ing,
Over in the sun-bright clime;
There’ll be no sick­ness there, nor dy­ing,
Over in the sun-bright clime.
