In the Land of Ancient Story

In the land of an­cient story

Where no storms can ev­er come

Where the Sav­ior dwells in glo­ry

There re­mains for us a home.

There with­in the heav­en­ly man­sions

Where life’s riv­er flows so clear

We shall see our bless­èd Sav­ior

If we love and serve Him here.

There with ho­ly an­gels dwell­ing

Where the ran­somed wan­der free

Jesus’ prais­es ev­er tell­ing

Sing we through eter­ni­ty.

There amid the shin­ing num­bers

All our toils and la­bors o’er

Where the Guard­ian nev­er slum­bers

We shall dwell for­ev­er­more.
