Glory Land Songtext
von Dock Boggs

If you have friends in gloryland
Who live because of pain
Thank God up there, they′ll die no more
They'll suffer not again
Then weep not friends, I′m going home
Up there we'll cry no more
No coffins will be made up there
No graves on that bright shore


The lame will walk in gloryland
The blind up there will see
The deaf in gloryland will hear
And the dumb will talk to me
The doctor will not have to call
The undertaker, no
We'll have no pain up there to bear
Just walk the streets of gold

We′ll need no sun in gloryland
The moon and stars won′t shine
For Christ himself is light up there
Pure rays of love divine
Then look away to that good land
Where peace and joy sublime
Shall fill our hearts to running o'er
There shouting all the time

Now won′t you, mothers, meet us there
With all your children too
To live in bliss forevermore
And never say adieu


Then what a land the Lord's prepared
No death, no pain, no care
He made our robes as white as snow
And built us mansions there
