What Must It Be to Be There!

We speak of the land of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair;
And oft are its glories confessed-
But what must it be to be there!
             Refrain:
To be there! to be there!
O what must it be to be there!
To be there! to be there!
O what must it be to be there!

We speak of its pathways of gold,
Its walls decked with jewels so rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold-
But what must it be to be there!

We speak of its peace and its love,
The robes which the glorified wear,
The church of the first-born above-
But what must it be to be there!
