This flexible piece is suitable for almost any church choir and may be accompanied on either a piano or an organ. While much of it is in unison and nearly all of it is homophonic, it is not dull; its flowing, graceful melody and beautiful text will inspire joyful meditation.
Text (first verse): Fanny Crosby (1820-1915), in English
We have heard of a land on whose blue, ether skies not a cloud for a moment can stay; and it needs not the sun in his splendor to rise for the Lord is the light of its day; we have heard of that land, and its glory we seek, where the faithful with Jesus shall dwell, where the roses of youth never fade from the cheek, and the lips never murmur, “Farewell.”
