I
THERE'S A LAND WHERE DEATH CAN NEVER ENTER.
NO LONELY GRAVES ON THE HILLS OF GOD.
I'LL WALK BY WATERS CLEAR AND PEACEFUL,
WHERE WICKED MEN SHALL NEVER TROD.
II
THERE'S A VALLEY GREEN WHERE THE NORTH WINDS WHISPER.
AND THE MASTER SMILES AS THE CHILDREN PLAY.
ALL SORROWS GONE AND MY BURDENS LIFTED
AND GOD HIMSELF WILL WIPE THE TEARS AWAY.
CHORUS
ON THE SUNNY BANKS OF SWEET DELIVERANCE
HAPPY FREEDOM LAND MY IMMORTAL HOME
I'M GOING THERE TO LIVE WHEN LIFE IS OVER
ON THE SUNNY BANKS (ON THE SUNNY BANKS)
OF MY HOME SWEET HOME.
